Overview

The Reproductive Freedom For All Foundation (formerly NARAL Pro-Choice America Foundation) is the 501(c)(3) educational and research arm of Reproductive Freedom For All, established to support reproductive freedom as a fundamental right. The foundation focuses on education, training, organizing, legal action, and public policy work at national and state levels. With over $42 million in annual revenue and $46 million in total assets as of 2024, the foundation primarily operates through direct programming and advocacy rather than traditional grantmaking. While the organization does make strategic grants to partner organizations—particularly around voter protection and reproductive rights advocacy—this represents a small portion of their activities. The foundation serves over 4 million members who mobilize to advance reproductive freedom across the United States.

Application Process & Timeline

How to Apply

This funder does not have a public application process. The Reproductive Freedom For All Foundation is primarily an operating foundation that conducts direct advocacy, education, and policy work.

The limited grants made by the foundation appear to be awarded through:

  • Strategic partnerships identified by foundation leadership
  • Board discretion based on organizational priorities
  • Invitation-only opportunities aligned with specific initiatives

There is no grant application portal, published guidelines, or solicitation for proposals on the foundation's website.

Getting on Their Radar

Note: The following information is specific to this funder based on their documented approach.

The foundation identifies grantee partners through strategic initiatives aligned with their mission priorities. Based on their 2020 voter protection program, organizations that received funding shared these characteristics:

  • Established local infrastructure in priority battleground states
  • Leadership by people of color serving communities disproportionately affected by barriers
  • Track record in voter protection, access, and organizing work
  • Alignment with reproductive freedom advocacy

Organizations working in reproductive rights, voting access, or related social justice areas may increase visibility by:

  • Participating in reproductive rights coalitions where foundation staff are active
  • Building track records in priority states for reproductive freedom advocacy
  • Demonstrating impact with BIPOC communities and on voting access
  • Engaging with their direct advocacy campaigns as allied organizations

The foundation's primary focus remains direct programming, so partnership opportunities are selective and mission-aligned.

Application Success Factors

Since this is not a traditional grantmaking foundation with a public application process, "success factors" relate to becoming a strategic partner:

Documented Partnership Criteria (from 2020 Voter Protection Initiative):

  • All funded organizations had established local infrastructure in target states
  • All recipient organizations were led by people of color
  • Strong emphasis on grassroots organizing and community-based work
  • Focus on addressing systemic barriers faced by marginalized communities
  • Clear connection between voting access and reproductive freedom

Strategic Alignment: Organizations that have received grants demonstrate clear alignment between their work and the foundation's mission of protecting reproductive freedom through democratic participation and policy change.

Geographic Priorities: Recent grants focused on battleground states critical to reproductive rights policy (Michigan, Georgia, Arizona, Minnesota).

Key Takeaways for Grant Writers

  • Not a traditional grantmaker: This is primarily an operating foundation conducting direct advocacy and education work, not a grantmaking institution
  • No public application process: Grants are made through strategic partnerships and board discretion, not open solicitation
  • Limited grant activity: Grant distributions represent a small fraction of the foundation's $42+ million budget
  • Strategic partnerships only: The foundation identifies specific organizations for targeted initiatives rather than responding to applications
  • Mission alignment critical: Organizations receiving grants have demonstrated clear connections between their work and reproductive freedom advocacy
  • Geographic focus: Recent grants concentrated on battleground states critical to reproductive rights policy
  • Consider the 501(c)(4) partner: Organizations seeking broader reproductive freedom advocacy funding may want to explore partnership opportunities with the connected 501(c)(4) organization, Reproductive Freedom For All
