Abortion Bridge Collaborative Fund Eligibility Survey for Applicants

Abortion Bridge Collaborative Fund Eligibility Survey for Applicants
Thank you for your interest in the Abortion Bridge Collaborative Fund! To save time and energy for our applicants and team, we are requesting that all applicants complete a short survey to determine preliminary eligibility.

If you meet our initial criteria, a member of our team will invite you via email to submit a formal grant proposal through the JustFund portal. If you don't hear back from us within 30 days, it means your work does not meet our current grantmaking priorities.

Please note:
- If you already have a proposal to ABC Fund pending, you may not need to re-submit unless notified by a member of our team.
- Your responses will not be shared outside of the ABC Fund/Women Donors Network team.
- While ABC Fund recognizes that advocacy, policy, culture change, narrative shift, litigation/legal support, and movement building play critical roles in the abortion access movement, those bodies of work fall outside of our grantmaking priorities at this time.
- ABC Fund is currently only able to fund eligible 501c3 organizations. If your organization does not have 501c3 status (or is not fiscally sponsored by a 501c3) please do not complete this survey.
Please refer to this FAQ for more information. For any technical questions about the survey, please email us at: abc@womendonors.org. Thank you for your time and interest in ABC Fund!
