Texts that reads “The Chicago Abortion Fund (CAF) is the largest abortion fund in the country, and Illinois’ statewide abortion fund. For over 40 years, we've worked to advance reproductive autonomy and justice by providing financial, logistical, and emotional support to those seeking abortion care in Chicago, across Illinois, throughout the Midwest, and beyond. CAF offers individualized support for people seeking abortion care including procedure funding, travel and related needs, emotional support and logistical expertise. Since the fall of Roe v. Wade, CAF has received support requests from over 50,000 people in 45 states and pushed out over $20 million in direct assistance and wrap-around support. In 2025 alone, CAF fielded nearly 20,000 support requests and spent over $10 million on appointment and travel costs.“
