About Us

Blue Ridge Abortion Fund has been here for 35 years, working to make access a reality for people who face barriers to abortion care.

We believe funding abortion is an act of community care and that everyone should have the agency and the resources to make their own decisions about their bodies and lives.

Our Vision

We envision a world where everyone receives supportive and compassionate abortion care in their community.

Our Mission

The Blue Ridge Abortion Fund provides community members with financial support, transportation, and lodging assistance for abortions. Through education and community outreach, we reduce stigma and increase awareness.

Our History

Blue Ridge Abortion Fund has been funding abortion since 1989, when members of Charlottesville NOW put out a pickle jar to collect money to help a person pay for their abortion. The request came through a whisper network and for a long time that’s how it went: community gathering money when a person was in need. 35 years after that pickle jar first circulated, Blue Ridge Abortion Fund is an independent non-profit organization fully dedicated to funding abortions and logistical support.

Funding abortion is an act of community care that affirms our belief that everyone should have the agency and resources to make their own decisions about their bodies. Abortion is legal in Virginia, but legal does not always mean accessible or attainable. If you believe everyone has a right to make their own choices about abortion, then donating to the Blue Ridge Abortion Fund is the best way to ensure everyone in our community really can access abortion.
