Evidence of Impact

Expert Comments

Impact

They have worked with other groups to increase access to abortion provided by advance practice clinicians - expanding the overall pool of providers for abortion care. A few years ago there were about 7 states that allowed APCs to provide abortion and now there are about 17. — Foundation Professional

Along with National Network of Abortion Funds and Abortion Access Project, National Abortion Federation is making abortion available for many women who cannot afford this procedure. — Foundation Professional

The direct and essential service this organization provides to abortion providers is critical. It increases their safety through its security program, and it helps to legitimize the profession by monitoring facilities and imposing clinical practice standards on its members. It also distributes substantial funding to low-income women who could not otherwise afford abortions. — Researcher and Faculty

They disseminate information to providers, create access to information and supplies as well as academic knowledge related to the practical and legal aspects of abortion care. — Researcher and Faculty

They set medical standards and provide continuing education for abortion service providers. They are important public policy voice and face for abortion providers. They provide a supportive community for abortion service providers. — Researcher and Faculty

This organization is a bold leader in supporting women and providers regarding abortion issues. — Researcher and Faculty

They have performed an essential service by providing a national (and increasingly, international) community for abortion providers, many of whom are extremely isolated in their home communities. They provide crucial security services for all its members when a member clinic is attacked/firebombed/provider is shot or otherwise harassed, one of their security people is one the next plane. It is imperative for many potential abortion providers to know that there is this kind of national organization that will back them up in various ways. — Researcher and Faculty

They help to support brave, courageous providers, and improve care for women in need. — Researcher and Faculty

They create a community for abortion providers to share knowledge and experience as well as setting standards for clinics to follow and providing security support, etc. — Nonprofit Senior Staff

Their impact comes in many ways. Its Justice Fund has made a difference for thousands of women seeking abortions; their security work -- both with the department of justice and clinics throughout the US -- has helped ensure the safety of doctors providing abortion; their work helped increase information about and access to medical abortion. Their impact in providing a home for abortion providers -- a place for friendship, for exchange of scientific information, and security tips -- cannot be overstated. Finally, because it is the largest membership organization for abortion providers, they can also bring the insights of providers and patients to bear on policy questions in ways that can be invaluable. — Nonprofit Senior Staff

They provide a voice for abortion providers. — Nonprofit Senior Staff

They "certify" national and international abortion providers; this is vital to maintain quality control over abortion services. — Nonprofit Senior Staff

They set the standards for practice for abortion providers, ensuring safety and evidence-based advancements. They bring the voice of abortion providers to federal and state debates about restrictions. The organization provides a network and forums for embattled providers to support one another. It also advocates unabashedly for abortion rights even when other reproductive rights organizations are in retreat from this issue. — Other

Organizational Strengths

Almost every expert has good things to say about the organization's leadership and operating model.

Expert Comments

Leadership

Its leadership and its operations are strengths. — Foundation Professional

The Executive Director has strong fundraising skills. This organization is supported by strong and loyal donors who are committed to and who have great admiration for the organization. — Researcher and Faculty

Their leadership is top notch in both representing the organization and in providing services to members/abortion service providers. Their membership includes most of US abortion providers. — Researcher and Faculty

They have excellent leadership and a clear focus. — Researcher and Faculty

Their leadership and staff are strengths. — Researcher and Faculty

Their CEO has tremendous skills. When it comes to implementing a program and tackling a problem of the greatest complexity, she is remarkable. The staff is also quite something, in that they manage to accomplish a tremendous amount with very limited resources. — Nonprofit Senior Staff

Their leadership is stable; they are able to represent those that provide abortion services and the women that receive them. They have the best networking for actual providers and continuing medical education. — Nonprofit Senior Staff

Program Design

These organizations perform a vital service to women. Their collaboration speaks to their efficient operation of services and finances. — Foundation Professional

It represents the broad spectrum of abortion providers, not just planned parenthood providers. — Nonprofit Senior Staff

Operations

They have longevity, name recognition, leadership in security and in dealing with barriers to abortion provision. — Researcher and Faculty

Staff

They have very stable leadership and high quality staff, in my experience. One of the major contributions, beyond building community and providing security-based services, is the promulgation of clinical policy guidelines--this is crucial for new providers, who will face intense scrutiny often in their home settings. This also offers continuing medical education credits for its members--an essential step because mainstream medical organizations tend to avoid abortion-related topics. — Researcher and Faculty

They audit their affiliated organizations and insure quality of care. Additionally they convene annual meetings to share medical information among members, encourage new research and provide legal expertise to their members. — Nonprofit Senior Staff

Mission & Resources

They have a strong commitment and the resources necessary to support providers and patients. — Researcher and Faculty

Funding

It has income from its members. — Researcher and Faculty

Well Funded

It is very well fun and organized. They hold two meetings annually for providers, staff, and advocates. — Nonprofit Senior Staff

Members

Its members are its greatest strength. Their courage and care in providing abortion services is an inspiration. — Other

Areas for Improvement

Slight modifications to their program design were offered by various respondents. Furthermore, while experts like the organizations leadership, they worry about their bench strength.

Expert Comments

Depth of bench

The CEO needs to work on delegating leadership and a public role to more of the staff. The organization needs to foster a good working environment that encourages higher level staff to stay. — Researcher and Faculty

They could have more involvement in training future abortion providers. — Researcher and Faculty

Funding

More funding is always needed. Holding up this organization for others to recognize and support is helpful in disseminating abortion services. — Researcher and Faculty

Outreach

More outreach would help. — Researcher and Faculty

Program Design

They have made some inroads to bring into its fold as well as to outreach to professionals who are not at clinics. More work of that sort may help to further the goal of having abortion less marginalized. They do amazing work with a small staff; they would benefit from having more staff and expertise in house. — Nonprofit Senior Staff

They have tried to provide funds to women who can't afford abortion services or access to late term abortions. Sometimes this process is more cumbersome then it should be so continual monitoring and improvement is always important. — Nonprofit Senior Staff

More Collaboration

They could better manage the tensions between independent providers and Planned Parenthood. Integrating other countries means changing the US focus, particularly the US legal and political focus to a more encompassing perspective. — Nonprofit Senior Staff

Advocacy

They have good constituent relations harmed by the perception that the DC leadership isn't politically savvy. — Nonprofit Senior Staff

Internal Operations

Their internal organization has never been strong. It does not have effective, experienced, long-term staff in positions of authority under its president. — Other
