WHEF RI is now Rhode Island Abortion Fund (RIAF)
RI’s only abortion fund, since 1989

WHEF exists to ensure that medically safe, legal abortions and birth control methods are available to all Rhode Island individuals. Since WHEF was founded in 1989, we have provided financial assistance to more than 5,000 Rhode Island individuals who otherwise would not have been able to access the reproductive healthcare of their choice. Rhode Island is one of several states that does not allow Medicaid funds to be used for abortion care - unless the pregnancy is the result of rape or incest, or when the life of the person is at risk. Without insurance coverage, an abortion procedure costs about $500, with increasing costs as a person's pregnancy progresses. Because not all people can afford to pay the full cost, WHEF works directly with area clinics to cover the difference.

This election, RI voters will be asked whether or not the State should hold a constitutional convention. We urge you to vote “NO” on Question 1, which could be disastrous for Rhode Islanders’ rights and liberties. 🗳️

🎉 Exciting News! 🎉

Our board has spent the last year working toward today's announcement.

We are now the Rhode Island Abortion Fund. 🌟

Since 1989, we’ve provided unrestricted support for Rhode Islanders who choose abortion or contraceptive care, but cannot afford the cost. Our new name reflects our unwavering commitment to reproductive justice and being unapologetically "abortion out loud." 📣

This change marks a new era in our unwavering commitment to reproductive justice and equity for all individuals. Abortion care extends beyond women—people of all genders deserve safe, accessible services. 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 We're here to support and uplift everyone.

Join us in this new chapter! Thank you for your continued support. 🤝

RIAF - Rhode Island’s only abortion fund, since 1989
