Get Help

If you are a Missourian who would like assistance to pay for your abortion care, Missouri Abortion Fund may be able to help.

The Missouri Abortion Fund intentionally reduces the burden on patients by working with providers directly to allocate funds. We have multiple clinic partners in neighboring states that we give money to spend quarterly. We work with these partners to allocate those funds for Missourians, helping pay for the cost of abortion care. If the provider you’ve made your appointment at is not on our list, we will work individually with them to help determine financial assistance options.

Please follow the steps below and reach out to us at info@mofund.org if you have additional questions.

Make your appointment.

We understand that cost might be a factor in your decision to schedule an appointment. However, in order to be eligible for funding you must first make your appointment.

Start by searching for clinics nearest to you, using tools like ineedana.com or abortionfinder.org. Here is a list of the clinic partners we work with most frequently.

Before you call, calculate how many weeks pregnant you are. Have this information, or your best estimate, available when searching for clinics and making your appointment.


Once you have decided which clinic will work best, make an appointment right away to avoid a delay in care. Some clinics allow you to schedule online, while others will require scheduling by phone.

Frequently Asked Questions

abortionhelpmo.com is your best online resource to get answers about abortion care for Missourians. We’ve partnered with them to highlight a few of the most common questions abortion seekers have below. For a full list of FAQs visit abortionhelpmo.com.

  • Missourians have the right to travel out of the state to access abortion care. There are clinics located near the Missouri border in Kansas and Illinois. To find your closest abortion clinic, visit ineedana.com or text Right by You at 855-458-0886.

    There may be legal risks if any part of the abortion takes place in Missouri or another state that has banned abortion. If you have concerns about legal risks, contact the Repro Legal Helpline at 844-868-2812.

  • In Missouri, abortion is banned regardless of age. Abortion is legal for people under 18 in some nearby states, but there may be restrictions.

    In Illinois, people under 18 are not required to tell or get permission from their parents in order to have an abortion. In Kansas, Iowa and Nebraska, people under 18 must either involve their parents in their abortion decision or go through a court process called judicial bypass.
