About the Fund

The Agnes Reynolds Jackson Fund, “Aggie Fund”, is an all-volunteer, non-profit, 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to providing abortion access in Toledo and the surrounding areas. We provide funds to help pay for the procedure and practical expenses related to receiving care. 

Our purpose is to make choosing abortion care financially accessible and to keep abortion safe and legal.

We believe that abortion rights are a fundamental part of reproductive health care and human rights. However, for many people, exercising their right to abortion, protecting their health, and their families’ health becomes a matter of financial hardship. Each individual bases their decision on their particular circumstances, and whatever their reasons, our role is to lessen the financial burden of abortion care.

Why?

• The cost of an abortion can be prohibitive to many people and often requires travel and other expenses. First trimester abortions, on average, cost $600 to $800.

• People with lower incomes often delay their abortions while trying to raise the money they need. Many times, these delays force them into more expensive second-trimester abortions. Some never get enough money to cover the cost of the procedure.

• As restrictions to abortion access increase, there are fewer providers, requiring people to travel farther distances. This, coupled with mandatory waiting periods, can create a significant financial barrier.

How to Help

Most of our funding comes from individual donations. Any donation is a concrete step towards ensuring people are able to control their own pregnancy outcomes regardless of financial barriers. Donations can be made online –or– by mail: PO Box 4878, Toledo, OH 43610.
