june 2022 - present

We are angry. We are engaged. We are taking action.
In June 2022, the Supreme Court issued its decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, overruling Roe v. Wade and denying women constitutional protection of their reproductive rights.The Pennywise Foundation has been working diligently to identify organizations that are meeting this moment in resourceful and effective ways, working to ensure that women can still access full spectrum reproductive care. 



Our grantees:

• Offer direct services in states where abortion will remain legal
• Generate safe, legal pathways to abortion access for all women in the US
• Work at the intersection of reproductive rights and voter engagement to demand policy reform

REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH CARE ACCESS PROJECT 
(RHAP) trains and supports clinicians to make reproductive health care accessible to everyone. The organization grew out of efforts to mainstream, de-stigmatize, and increase abortion access by integrating early abortion care into primary care settings.

• RHAP is a leading resource for education, advocacy and support in integrating full-spectrum reproductive health care into primary care. 
• RHAP’s core goal- incorporating reproductive health care services into existing primary care systems- is exactly the type of approach that Pennywise supports. By working within more mainstream health care settings, their services are likely to reach more people and be brought to a larger scale while minimizing additional costs.

ABORTION CARE NETWORK: KEEP OUR CLINICS

• The Keep Our Clinics campaign is the Abortion Care Network’s latest effort to protect access to care and support independent clinics across the country. ​It is a fundraising campaign for independent abortion clinics across the USA, which directs funds into making necessary security improvements, replacing and updating medical equipment, covering legal costs to maintain compliance with politically-motivated regulations, clinic building maintenance and repair, and more.
• In the US' increasingly hostile political environment towards reproductive freedom, it is more important than ever that clinics providing abortion care in states where it will remain legal can continue to operate. The brick and mortar type support offered through the Keep our Clinics program will literally keeps doors open. It offers a highly visible way that donors can see returns on their investments and- as demand increases as women from states where abortions are banned come to depend on these clinics- it will have increasingly large impacts over this difficult time. It is an initiative Pennywise is proud to support.
