State Abortion Access Network

The State Abortion Access Network (SAAN), now a fiscally sponsored project of the Hopewell Fund, is a ground-up network that will strengthen and support state-based reproductive advocacy nonprofits. By establishing a collaborative platform, SAAN ensures that essential state-based activism can thrive.

The purpose of SAAN is to allow member organizations to focus on what they do best – reproductive health, rights, and justice advocacy – while creating field-serving infrastructure that will make state-based abortion advocacy sustainable for the long-term. SAAN will elevate and support its member advocacy organizations by providing financial, programmatic, and operational assistance to facilitate collaboration and fuel a state abortion advocacy movement. 

This network represents diverse and strategic geographic representation across the Northwest, West, South, Midwest, Mid-Atlantic, and Northeast regions. By including states that range from abortion ban to abortion access, SAAN optimizes the knowledge-exchange of state-level organizations. SAAN is a truly unique collaboration, built collectively in the field by state leaders stepping up in this unprecedented moment for abortion access across America.
