Tampa Bay Abortion Fund

What Tampa Bay Abortion Fund does

Tampa Bay Abortion Fund (TBAF), legally TBA Fund Inc. (EIN 85-2493274), is a Florida-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded in 2018 by three Tampa residents to remove financial and logistical barriers to abortion access. It serves pregnant people seeking abortion care in Hillsborough and Pinellas Counties, as well as Floridians over six weeks gestation who must travel out of state due to Florida's gestational restrictions. TBAF specifically assists low-income pregnant people, minors seeking judicial bypass, and Spanish-speaking callers.

TBAF's core offerings include direct funding for abortion procedures, practical support (transportation, lodging, childcare, prescriptions), judicial bypass navigation for minors, self-managed abortion educational resources, and contraception distribution. Services are delivered through a centralized intake system—a phone line (727-314-3956), a voicemail with 48-hour callback, and an Airtable-based online form—funneled via referrals from seven partner clinics in the Tampa Bay area (Tampa Women's Health Center, multiple All Women's Health Center locations, Bread & Roses, St. Petersburg Women's Health Center) and a network of out-of-state clinics in Illinois, Maryland, New Jersey, and Washington D.C. TBAF is volunteer-run with no proprietary technology platform; operations rely on standard SaaS tools (Airtable, MailChimp, Bonfire for merchandise) and a board-governed structure under Board President Kris Lawler.

TBAF is funded entirely through tax-deductible individual donations (one-time and recurring), institutional grants (Liberate Abortion, Collective Power Fund, NNAF's Operation Scale Up), and merchandise sales via Bonfire. There are no fees charged to clients. The affiliated 501(c)(4) organization Tampa Bay Access Force handles legislative advocacy separately. In 2023, TBAF assisted 2,660 callers—including 303 who traveled out of state—and disbursed over $650,000 in appointment costs and over $67,000 in practical support.

• Chicago Abortion Fund: Regional abortion fund providing financial and practical support for abortion access in and around Illinois — a destination state for many out-of-state travelers that TBAF refers to Hope Clinic.
• Brigid Alliance: Provides logistical and travel support specifically for people forced to travel for abortion care. Direct peer and active TBAF partner for practical support services.
• National Network of Abortion Funds (NNAF): Coalition of 100+ abortion funds across the U.S. that TBAF is affiliated with. Operates Find-a-Fund tool and Operation Scale Up; serves as the umbrella network for the same mission category.
• DC Abortion Fund: Provides funding and practical support for abortion access in the DC area, including out-of-state travelers. Partner of TBAF's referral network via DuPont Clinic and CARE.
• Access Reproductive Care - Southeast (ARC-SE): Regional abortion fund serving Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, South Carolina, and Tennessee with financial assistance and practical support (rides, lodging, escorting). Direct peer providing similar services in overlapping Florida geography.

Broad incumbents

• Planned Parenthood Federation of America: National provider of abortion and reproductive health services with affiliate clinics in Florida and elsewhere. TBAF partners with Planned Parenthood St. Louis Region's Regional Logistics Center, but PP is a much larger clinical provider rather than a pure funder.
• National Abortion Federation (NAF): Professional association of abortion providers that operates a national hotline (800-772-9100) and pre-screens clients for national funding before TBAF provides additional support. Functions as both a national infrastructure layer and an upstream referral source.
