Nonprofit Overview

Mission: At fund texas choice, we understand the difference between choice and access, especially as it relates to obtaining an abortion. Though abortion may be legal, it is not always a viable option when impeded by economic barriers such as the need to travel long distances to an abortion clinic. Fund texas choice makes the choice of abortion possible for those who need help paying for transportation and/or accommodation for their procedure. We believe that paying for our clients' needs provides them with the same set of options that another person with more economic power would have in that circumstance. In other words, we believe that paying directly for travel empowers our clients to take control of their own trip, with maximum privacy and minimal reliance on our organization. In short, fund texas choice's mission is to provide those who need to travel for an abortion with the economic means to make that decision for themselves.
Programs: Provided clients with free overnight stays at select locations near abortion clinics, allowing clients who must travel long distances a place to sleep. This is important for reasons surch as the existence of a mandatory 24-hour waiting period.
for people who have no other means of transportation, we covered travel costs in various forms that bring a client to their nearest abortion clinic to 374 clients. Due to hb 2, their are very few locations where abortions can be performed, causing significant travel costs to clients, many of whom are unable to afford the costs.
in the 2016-2017 fiscal year the organization reponded to 968 hotline calls from women with family planning-related issues.
