JAN. 2010: Due to a lack of financial donations to our fund, we are not able to provide financial assistance to all women in need. Currently, we are only able to provide funding for a limited number of circumstances. If you are a girl under the age of 18, more than 16 weeks pregnant, have a fetal anomaly, have been raped or you are homeless, please contact us at 612-825-2000.

We are working tirelessly to raise additional money so that we can re-open our fund to everyone in need as soon as possible. If you live outside the Twin Cities metro area, please visit nnaf.org to find a fund near you.

Hersey Abortion Assistance Fund. In 1977, the Hyde Amendment eliminated Medicaid funding to pay for the costs of an abortion; Pro-Choice Resources responded by creating the Hersey Abortion Assistance Fund (HAAF) to assist low-income women with the costs of abortion. The Fund is administered over the telephone in order to simplify the process for women seeking financial assistance.

The mission of HAAF is to dismantle the economic restrictions and barriers to information that make vital reproductive health care inaccessible for too many women, especially young women, women of color, and poor women.

HAAF gives loans to women over 18, and grants to minors to assist in the cost of their abortion procedure. We provide equal access for all women to help pay for their abortions regardless of race, age, economic circumstances, religious background, sexual identity, ability or pregnancy circumstances. Loans are interest free and repayments are used to help other women and girls in need.

Two-thirds of our dollars are given to women and girls having their procedures in Minnesota, North Dakota or South Dakota.

Seven out of every eight women who call HAAF are turned away due to our own lack of resources; HAAF could give away half a million dollars every year.

Whenever possible, we strive to provide women and their families with resources and referrals to agencies regarding all reproductive health information, including abortion, adoption, parenting, STI and HIV testing, emergency contraception and mental and physical health.
