Baltimore Abortion Fund

The Baltimore Abortion Fund (BAF) is an all-volunteer, nonprofit organization that provides financial assistance to people who live in or travel to Maryland for abortion care. BAF is part of the National Network of Abortion Funds, which consists of 70+ independently operated funds across the country. They use an intersectional reproductive justice lens to dismantle white supremacy and remove systemic barriers people face when accessing abortion care.

BAF operates a confidential helpline (443-297-9893) where volunteer case managers make financial commitments to help callers pay for their procedures, as well as provide information on how to access abortion care. BAF actively works to reduce abortion stigma within Maryland, and participates in broader conversations in shaping local and state-wide policy affecting BAF callers.
