ABOUT OUR FUND

The New York Abortion Access Fund (NYAAF) provides assistance to individuals who are unable to pay fully for an abortion and are living in or traveling to New York State by providing financial assistance and connections to other resources.

We are an all volunteer, grassroots organization that works directly with those who face obstacles to abortion. More often than not, we are the only allies people have as they try to raise money to pay for their abortion.

Join us for our biggest event of the year! By participating in the 7th Annual NYAAF Bowl-a-thon you are helping to ensure cost is never a barrier to someone seeking the abortion care they need. This year's Bowl-a-thon will be held on April 10th, 11am - 1:30pm at Bowlmor Chelsea Piers. We can't wait to see you there!

WHY WE BOWL

Funds hear firsthand how hard it can be to pay for an abortion. We're bowling to raise money to help those in need today, and we're committed to building a more just world where everyone, regardless of income, can get all of the care they need without stigma or shaming.
