A MESSAGE FROM OUR CO-CHAIRS
This past year, the New York Abortion Access Fund (NYAAF) has accomplished so
much with the dedication of our all-volunteer board of directors, the generosity of
our supporters, the professional care provided by our partner clinics1, and the hard
work of our loyal volunteers. In fiscal year (FY) 2012 we pledged $89,708 to 287
grantees. This represents a 31% increase in monies pledged and a 17% increase in
number of grantees over FY 2011. To highlight our success, we are pleased to share
with you NYAAF’s first comprehensive annual report.
In this report, you will learn about NYAAF’s FY 2012 activities dating from July 1, 2011
through June 30, 2012. You will read about NYAAF’s history, the abortion access
landscape, our client intake process, and the experiences of NYAAF grantees in
special sections titled “Inside the Hotline.”2 You will have access to rich data on
NYAAF’s grantees and learn much about the people we serve. You will read about
our exciting fundraising strategies and see pictures from last year’s events, such as
our 10th Anniversary Celebrate Access Awards and annual Bowl-a-thon event. You
will also be reminded of our coverage in the media with screenshots of press
headlines as well as of our social media presence with tweets interspersed
throughout the report.
Aside from the successes we present to you here, we would like to take this
opportunity to highlight two additional ways that NYAAF has evolved to better serve
our diverse clients this year. First, NYAAF strengthened our volunteer base with
Spanish-language intake volunteers to help us better serve clients who only or prefer
to speak Spanish; this resource has proven integral to the success of our mission.
Second, we added an Institutional Fundraising position to our Board of Directors,
expanding our efforts to secure core project funding by actively reaching out to
foundations and applying for grants; we even conducted our very first site visit with
an interested funder.
We are proud of NYAAF’s continued growth in FY 2012 and our ability to fund more
grantees than ever! We know you will be proud too.
With your continued help and support, we look forward to a successful future!
Sincerely,
Phillip Kim & Maureen Stutzman

NYAAF HISTORY AND MISSION
In 1999, Barnard College students volunteering as clinic escorts witnessed a patient
leave a New York City (NYC) clinic upset because they were unable to pay fully for
their termination and therefore were unable to be treated. The experience inspired
these students to do more, and in conjunction with the Barnard College and
Columbia University Students For Choice group, they sought to establish a local
abortion fund. After two years of grassroots fundraising, planning and acquisition of
501c3 non-profit status, NYAAF made its first grant to a clinic for abortion services in
2001.
NYAAF has grown considerably since its early days of funding just three clinics in NYC.
The amount of funds NYAAF has pledged as well as the number of grantees served
continues to grow with each passing fiscal year.

In NYAAF’s earliest days, when funding was more scarce, second
trimester cases took priority over first trimester cases and received
funding more often due to the time-sensitive nature of clients’
needs. A significant increase in NYAAF’s budget, as well as increased
visibility among clinics and clients alike, has enabled NYAAF to
increase the number of grants made earlier in a grantee’s gestation.
One thing that remains constant in NYAAF’s history is the dedication
of its all-volunteer board of directors. In 2012, NYAAF’s mission was
supported through the work of 12 board members, with the board
creating new roles and recruiting individuals with certain skills to
grow NYAAF’s capacity and ability to serve those in need of abortion
funding. Board members with fundraising skills, financial literacy,
and non-profit management experience were brought on to help
turn NYAAF into what it is today.

ABORTION ACCESS LANDSCAPE
New York has fewer legal barriers to abortion than many other states. Abortions may be performed in New York
State (NYS) up to 24 weeks of pregnancy, and the state does not require medically unnecessary waiting periods or
parental consent for minors. Because of this, New York is a haven to people from around the country seeking
abortion services; 26% of the people NYAAF serve come to New York for an abortion from another state, often from
places where abortion services are increasingly difficult to access.
Abortion is prohibitively expensive for many people, with the average cost ranging from $425 at less than 12 weeks
gestation to $3,900 at 24 weeks gestation to more than $10,000 in extreme circumstances. These rising costs,
coupled with tough economic times, mean that many people lack the financial resources to pay for an abortion out of
pocket, and may not qualify for public health insurance.
Even when individuals have insurance, they may still be unable to access an abortion. Many private and employer-
based insurance plans do not cover abortion, and even if abortion is covered, the deductible may be overly
burdensome to the individual seeking an abortion. In addition, the Hyde Amendment bars the use of federal funds to
pay for abortion except in cases of rape, incest, or threat to the life of the woman. This means that recipients of the
US military health insurance plan, Tricare, which is provided to active duty, guard, reserves, retired members and
their families, are without insurance coverage for abortion.
In addition, because the Hyde Amendment prevents federal dollars from funding abortion through state Medicaid
programs, individual states, like New York, must provide public funding to subsidize their Medicaid program’s
coverage of abortion. In New York – one of the 17 states where the state Medicaid program does cover abortion for
eligible patients – NYAAF still hears from hundreds of individuals with low-incomes who fall through the cracks,
because they make too much money to enroll in Medicaid yet still lack the funds necessary to pay for an abortion.

The Guttmacher Institute estimates that nationwide, 20-30%
of people who want to terminate a pregnancy are forced to
carry to term due to a lack of funds.3 If they are lucky, they
find NYAAF and additional financial help. Unfortunately, this
is not always the case; many people nationwide are not able
to access Medicaid funding or find an abortion fund like
NYAAF.
Even if a person is able to raise enough funds to afford an
abortion, it may be difficult to locate a clinic to perform the
procedure. In New York State, the majority of providers are
concentrated in urban areas and 39% of counties do not
have an abortion provider.4 Nationally, approximately 87% of
US counties lack an abortion provider.5 When considering
access at the individual level, 7% of NY women live in a
county with no abortion provider compared with 35%
nationally and 91% in a state like Mississippi.4 While this
uneven distribution makes it clear that New York has better
abortion access than most states, it still remains difficult for
many New Yorkers residing outside urban areas to access
safe and later-term abortion care. NYC serves as a beacon
for those seeking abortion from across the state as well as
across the country.
Abortion providers themselves may also unintentionally
create barriers to abortion access. Some New York clinics do
not accept Medicaid as payment or offer payment plans,
others will not perform abortions after a certain number of
weeks, and others will not accept pledges from abortion
Inside The Hotline Jackie is a 19-year-old college student attending school in upstate New York. There were no clinics offering abortion services near her university, so she had to travel to New York City to seek an abortion. Although she was Medicaid-eligible, due to the gestation of her pregnancy, the time it would take to enroll her in Medicaid would cause her to go over the legal limit for an abortion in New York State. We had to find the funds outside of Medicaid. Jackie contributed $300, the clinic gave a discount, and NYAAF pledged $150. Even in NYS where the legal limit is 24 weeks and Medicaid covers terminations, the dwindling number of providers in certain regions coupled with the inability to expeditiously enroll in Medicaid complicates abortion access.
weeks, and others will not accept pledges from abortion funds on behalf of their patients. Clinics are trying their best to
function in an environment where abortion is stigmatized, yet sometimes their policies make it more difficult for people
to access the care they need.6
Given the multitude of barriers to accessing abortion care, our work as an abortion fund operates at a critical intersection
between reproductive rights, economic justice and inequitable health systems for the most marginalized people in our
communities.
NYAAF 2011-2012 Report 8
NYAAF INTAKE PROCESS
NYAAF is run and governed by a
committed all-volunteer Board of
Directors and a network of active
volunteers. Decisions are made by the
Board at monthly meetings, annual
retreats, and electronically. NYAAF’s
board members serve on patient intake,
where they are responsible for
responding to client and clinic calls on
the hotline as well as in the NYAAF email
inbox—some board members even text
clients. Board members fulfill their
intake duties on a rotating basis or one
week at a time, four times a calendar
year.
NYAAF makes a commitment to return
each call or email within 24 hours. Each
week, a different intake volunteer
responds to calls from clinics and clients.
During the intake process, NYAAF
ascertains relevant information
regarding patient place of residence,
gestation, insurance coverage or
Medicaid eligibility, and ability of a
patient to self-finance or fundraise
among family and friends for their
termination.

NYAAF 2011-2012 Report 9
Inside The Hotline Tara called us from a clinic waiting room in New York City. She was at 24 weeks gestation, New York State’s legal limit, and unable to pay the remaining $2,575 for her $3,000 procedure. Tara was ineligible for Medicaid and had already applied all the money she had towards the cost of the procedure. Tara needed to be seen that day if she was going to have an abortion in New York, so time was of the essence. The clinic called all our partner funds seeking funding while the NYAAF board member on intake requested approval from the Board to pledge $2,400. The Board approved this pledge, but in the midst of tapping every resource, we learned that one of Tara’s friends was able to lend her $2,200 towards the procedure! The clinic ended up providing a discount of $175 and NYAAF pledged $200. Our initial pledge would be saved to help other clients in the future. For all of the grantees we help, collaboration from multiple sources is vital.
NYAAF’s main function is to help a client chart
their path of access to abortion. This often
means making direct financial contributions to
the clinic where the abortion is taking place, but
it also includes providing crucial information and
guidance. Sometimes our service is providing
information about which clinics will enroll the
patient in Medicaid, giving detailed directions to
another city, comparing prices across multiple
clinics, or connecting someone to other direct
services and listening to what they have to say
while being supportive and non-judgmental.
If clients are eligible to receive funding from
NYAAF, the intake volunteers will contact the
clinic to confirm the client’s appointment date
and time, the procedure cost, determine the
NYAAF pledge amount, and then communicate
that grant amount directly to the clinic. Once the
patient has been seen, the clinic invoices NYAAF
for the abortion services covered by grant
amount and is reimbursed by NYAAF.

WHO NYAAF SERVES
FY 2012 (July 1, 2011—June 30, 2012) was NYAAF’s highest volume grant funding cycle to date, with $89,708
provided to clinics on behalf of 287 grantees. This represents a 31% increase in monies pledged and 17% increase in
grantees over FY 2011.
Each grantee funded presents to us a unique need for assistance in financing their abortion procedure. The
information about our grantees shared here will provide a sense of who NYAAF serves and how impactful our funding
is to their unique lived experience.
The information presented here was collected from our FY 2012 grantees through NYAAF’s clinic intake form. Each
NYAAF grantee is presented with this form when they go to the clinic for their abortion procedure. The form requests
self-reported demographic and geographic information from the grantee as well as information on the grantee’s
contraceptive use and insurance status. Clinic staff also completes a section of this form, providing information on
gestation, type of procedure, and cost. Some clinic intake forms had missing information for certain indicators;
therefore, numbers and percentages for unknown data are included in all calculations and figures herein to prevent
bias in reporting.
AGE
NYAAF served grantees aged 12-45 in FY 2012. Two grantees funded were under the age of 15 and 39 were teenagers
aged 15-19. Among adults, 101 were 20-24, 59 were 25-29, 47 were 30-34, 21 were 35-39, nine were 40-44, and one
was 45. Age is unknown for eight grantees. The average age of our grantees was 26.
When we group age categories, we see that 14.3% of grantees were under the age of 20, 55.7% were in their
twenties, and 27.2% were over the age of 30.
Grantees By Age
NYAAF 2011-2012 Report 11
RACE & ETHNICITY
More than one-third of NYAAF’s grantees (106) identified as White/Caucasian. Another third (97) identified as
Black/African-American/African Heritage. Forty-three grantees identified as Latina/Chicana/Hispanic. Nine identified
as Asian/Asian-American/Pacific Islander and one as Native American/American Indian. Eighteen grantees identified
as bi- or multi-racial. Race and ethnicity is unknown for 13 grantees.
Grantees By Race & Ethnicity

About three-quarters of NYAAF’s grantees were NYS residents (206); the remaining 74 grantees travelled to NYS from
other states for their abortion procedure. State of residency is unknown for 7 grantees.
Non-NYS grantees travelled from the Northeast, South, and West regions of the United States, representing 14
different states. Grantees were from the Mid-Atlantic region (48), New England (14) and the South Atlantic states
(10). NYAAF also served one grantee from the Pacific state of California and one from the Mountain state of
Wyoming.
Among in-state grantees, two-thirds (136) were from outside New York City (NYC) and one-third (70) were residents
of NYC’s five boroughs. Within NYC, NYAAF served 29 grantees from Queens, 21 from the Bronx, 12 from Manhattan,
four from Brooklyn, and four from Staten Island.

COST OF PROCEDURE, GRANT SIZE & COLLABORATIVE FUNDING
The minimum cost of an abortion procedure supported by NYAAF was $390 for a grantee who was eight weeks
pregnant and the maximum was $10,000 for a grantee who was 26 weeks pregnant. The average cost of procedure
NYAAF supported was $906 and the most common was $500.
NYAAF contributed a maximum grant size of $2,300 for a grantee who was in their second trimester and a
minimum of $25 for a grantee at 13 weeks pregnant. The average NYAAF grant was $313 and the most common
was $200.
NYAAF’s funding process is always collaborative. We coordinate resources among our grantees, clinics, and partner
abortion funds to ensure that our grants go further. More than three-quarters of grantees (248) contributed
money toward their abortion. One grantee contributed $4,900, while another was able to contribute just $30. The
average grantee contribution was $355 and the most common grantee contribution was $200.
GESTATION & TYPE OF PROCEDURE
NYAAF served grantees from four to 27 weeks gestation, with an average of 13 weeks gestation. Information on the
number of weeks pregnant was not indicated on the intake forms of 32 grantees. The majority of grantees (151)
were in the first trimester or first 12 weeks of their pregnancy at the time of their abortion. About a third of grantees
(98) were both in their second trimester and within NYS’ legal limit of 24 weeks pregnant. Six grantees were beyond
NYS’ legal limit of 24 weeks pregnant and travelled to other states for their abortion procedures. No grantees were in
the third trimester.
More than 80% of grantees (240) had a surgical abortion while 39 had a medical abortion. Type of procedure was not
reported for 8 grantees.

Clinics discounted procedures or use their own
internal resources to funding 146 of NYAAF grantees.
One clinic discounted $2,400, while sometimes just a
$25 discount can make a difference. The average
clinic discount was $269, while the most common
discount was $50.
Partner abortion funds contributed to 73 NYAAF
grantees. The maximum partner fund contribution
was $6,250 and the minimum was $50. The average
partner fund contribution was $135, while the most
common contribution was $100.
Inside The Hotline Maria, a Pennsylvania resident, was at 18
weeks gestation and had an appointment
scheduled in New York City. Although Maria
had health coverage through her state’s
Medicaid program, the state did not cover
abortion procedures unless the pregnancy
was a result of rape, incest, or a documented
threat to the woman’s life. In order to have
her procedure, Maria covered her travel
expenses and stayed with a Haven volunteer
overnight, the clinic provided a $395
discount, and NYAAF pledged $200.
New York State is a haven for many people
seeking terminations. NYAAF and our
partners are always here to help.

Inside The Hotline Sophia, a New York state resident, was undergoing chemotherapy and being treated for several different
cancers. Her doctors told her that she would not be able to get pregnant while undergoing chemotherapy
and her pregnancy was discovered at an advanced gestational age. The fetus was detected to have
multiple severe anomalies that were incompatible with life. Although Sophia had NY State Medicaid,
which covers abortion procedures, Sophia was past 24 weeks and had to travel out of state to the one of
the few clinics in the country that would be able to perform her abortion. Even before factoring in travel
costs and accommodations, the abortion itself cost over $12,000. Despite Sophia’s personal contribution
and significant assistance from the National Abortion Federation, there remained a $1,750 balance. This
pledge size was ten times our average grant amount, so we came to you, our supporters, for help.
In our first ever email and social media-based “Emergency Appeal,” 41 people donated $1,719 toward
Sophia’s care in one day.
