The National Network of Abortion Funds (NNAF) is a national social justice organization that aims to increase access to abortion for low-income people across the U.S. Founding and history The National Network of Abortion Funds is a social justice organization that was founded by 22 grassroots abortion funds from 14 states at a conference held May 1–2, 1993, at the National 4H Center in Chevy Chase, Maryland. The NNAF incorporated in 1994. A six-person national board was elected at the 1993 conference, and each board member was assigned several funds for which they had networking and communicating responsibilities. Since 1994, the NNAF has charged its board with increasing the organization's diversity of age, race, and ethnicity. From 1993 to 2003, the NNAF functioned with minimal paid infrastructure: office space was donated by Hampshire College, Marlene G. Fried served as unpaid executive director and fundraiser, Shawn Towhey acted as unpaid communications director, and other national board members coordinated and implemented the programmatic work of the organization through task forces. Beginning in 1998, grants from the David and Lucile Packard Foundation enabled the NNAF to hire three consultants (development, organizational, and technology), which enabled it to reach new levels of sustainability and growth. In 2005, the board created the position of National Case Manager to oversee distribution of monies specifically designated for abortion funding. Currently, the NNAF is the only national organization that focuses on abortion rights that is led entirely by black women. The NNAF now consists of well over 80 grassroots organizations in 38 states and four different countries. Funding is provided through donations from business and individuals, and is divided into each of these individual organizations. The NNAF works as an umbrella group to provide networking opportunities between these smaller individual organizations that are typically state-based to raise and divide funds and obtain the necessary technology to be able to directly support women seeking assistance with obtaining an abortion. In 2000, the NNAF joined with 200 organizations to begin a campaign fighting against the injustice of the Hyde Amendment and punitive welfare reform. In 2016, the NNAF rallied alongside thousands of other organizations after the ruling that the state of Texas cannot place restrictions on abortion services that cause an undue burden. In 2017, the NNAF grew to include individual people as members. The Affordable Care Act (ACA) also plays a role in the foundations and history of the
