Programs
Membership services: naf sets the standards for quality abortion care through our evidence based clinical policy guidelines (cpgs). First published in 1996, naf's cpgs are updated and reissued annually in order to help providers stay current in abortion practice and provide the highest quality abortion care. Our quality assurance and improvement (qai) program includes site visits to assess members compliance with the cpgs and provides technical assistance and training to help providers meet regulatory requirements. We develop and disseminate research-based protocols and clinical publications to our members on current medical issues. Our group purchasing program helps clinics stay open so women can access quality abortion care.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2023, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2023, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2023 to 2024, from $11M to $15M (+41%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Government-grant reliance: 2025 2%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
79% of NATIONAL ABORTION FEDERATION INC’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (51% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
Grant support over time, funder by funder — shade shows the grant size each year.
8 of 9 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 99% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
Left out of every figure on this page: $10M from one payer (the payer shares this organization's board, largest National Abortion Federation). These are real filings, and they are not money NATIONAL ABORTION FEDERATION INC raised.
From the IRS filings of NATIONAL ABORTION FEDERATION INC’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How concentrated its funding is
NATIONAL ABORTION FEDERATION INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 55% of grant income and the top three 91%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
99% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund NATIONAL ABORTION FEDERATION INC.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
Where its funders are
99% of NATIONAL ABORTION FEDERATION INC's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Of the $5k that is directly attributable, 100% of it comes from funders outside Maryland, across 1 state.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $966k arriving through sponsors registered in 8 states is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
Against its field
NATIONAL ABORTION FEDERATION INC holds deeper cash reserves than three-quarters of the 4,665 health nonprofits its size.
