Palmetto State Abortion Fund

Palmetto State Abortion Fund helps people access abortion care when they cannot afford it. We provide direct financial support to clinics and cover the real costs of access--travel, lodging, gas, food, and coordination--because a right means nothing if you can't actually reach care. 

Since launching in 2021, PSAF has helped over 3,000 people access abortion care across South Carolina. The need is urgent and ever growing. South Carolina's 6 week ban forces most patients to flee the state. Travel alone can add hundreds of dollars to someone's cost, and depending on medical history and gestational age, appointments range from $600 to $25,000. 

At the same time, other funding sources are shrinking--meaning abortion funds like PSAF are often the last lifeline between someone and the care they need. We step in when no one else will by paying clinics directly, coordinating logistics, and ensuring that patients are not navigating this process alone.

The state of South Carolina is growing increasingly hostile towards reproductive healthcare. Year after year lawmakers attempt to make it harder to access basic healthcare, and we see the impacts of this as we now have 17 counties across the state without an OB-GYN. 

When you give to PSAF, your donation funds abortion care and our caseworkers who make it possible for people to get the support they need. Every dollar helps us keep our intake line open and continue to say yes to someone who has been told no too many times. 

This is what abortion access really means, and this is the moment to show up.
