Access Reproductive Care

What Access Reproductive Care does

Access Reproductive Care-Southeast (ARC-Southeast) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 2015 and headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, that provides direct funding and logistical support to Southerners seeking abortion and other reproductive care. Its core service is a phone-based Healthline (855-227-2475) plus an online intake form through which callers receive abortion funding coordination and practical assistance covering transportation (gas cards, flights), lodging, childcare, meals, and emergency contraception. The organization operates as the only abortion fund based in Georgia and serves as a regional coordinator across Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee, and South Carolina, where the bulk of callers travel an average of 200+ miles one-way to access care.

ARC-Southeast's underlying technology stack is intentionally lightweight and operational rather than product-led: Donorbox for donation processing, Cognitoforms for online support requests, and a WordPress-based website. Its competitive position is built on a programmatic portfolio — Plan B: Southeast (emergency contraception through 25 community outposts), the MonARCh Volunteer Network (50+ trained volunteers), Sow.Now.What (monthly peer support groups), the Safe & Sustained mutual aid fund, the Gas Card Program (22+ partner clinics), the Southern Echoes Fellowship, and a newly launched Medical Support Doula Program in Georgia. Cumulative abortion funding provided over the past decade surpassed $10 million, with 5,400+ callers served in 2025 and approximately $2.4 million disbursed that year alone.

The organization is funded entirely through donations and grants, with no fees charged to service recipients. Co-Executive Directors Alexia Rice-Henry and Angel Whaley lead a staff of 11-50 under a co-leadership governance model adopted in October 2023. Key institutional funders include the Katz Amsterdam Charitable Trust, and the organization operates within a regional coalition structure that includes the Amplify Georgia collaborative and partnerships with the Florida Access Network, EMAFund, TBAF, WEN, Carolina Abortion Fund, Palmetto State Abortion Fund, and SisterSong Women of Color Health Collective.

Broad incumbents

• National Abortion Federation (NAF): NAF operates the largest national abortion provider hotline and fund coordination network in the U.S. Like ARC-Southeast, it funds abortion care and provides logistical support, but operates nationally with a broader policy and clinical quality mandate rather than a regional reproductive justice focus.
• SisterSong Women of Color Health Collective: Historic reproductive justice organization founded by Black women, focused on movement building rather than direct service. Comparable as a long-standing Southern reproductive justice organization, though SisterSong operates more as an advocacy and policy network than a direct service fund.
• Planned Parenthood Southeast: Large incumbent reproductive health provider with clinical services across the Southeast. Comparable in serving the same patient population for reproductive care, but operating as a clinical provider rather than an abortion fund and logistical support intermediary.

Direct peers

• Lilith Fund: Texas-based abortion fund providing direct financial assistance and practical support (rides, lodging, childcare) to people seeking abortion care. Directly comparable to ARC-Southeast's model of funding plus logistical support in a restrictive Southern state.
• Yellowhammer Fund: Alabama-based abortion fund providing financial assistance and practical support for abortion access. Directly comparable as a Southeast-based abortion fund serving a state with severe abortion restrictions, offering similar funding coordination and logistical services.
• Florida Access Network (FAN): Florida abortion fund partnership with which ARC-Southeast collaborates to serve Florida callers post the state's 6-week ban. Comparable as a regional abortion fund with funding and logistical support offerings in the same Southeast ecosystem.
• Carolina Abortion Fund: North and South Carolina abortion fund that ARC-Southeast refers callers to and collaborates with on advocacy. Comparable as a regional abortion fund providing direct funding for abortion care and practical support in the Southeast.
• Palmetto State Abortion Fund: South Carolina-based abortion fund that ARC-Southeast actively refers donors and supporters to. Comparable as a regional abortion fund addressing access barriers in a Southeast state with restrictive abortion legislation.
• EMAFund: Florida-based abortion fund collaborating with ARC-Southeast on collective Southeast funding infrastructure. Comparable as a regional abortion fund providing direct funding and logistical support for abortion access.
• TBAF (Tampa Bay Abortion Fund): Florida-based abortion fund partner in ARC-Southeast's regional collaborative. Comparable as a regional abortion fund focused on direct financial assistance and practical support in a restrictive Florida environment.
