Abortion funds ramped up after Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in 2022 , ending a national right to abortion.

Donations rolled in from supporters who saw the groups as key to maintaining abortion access.

But the funds have found that even with record budgets, it’s not enough to fill all the gaps between the cost of obtaining abortions and what women seeking them can afford.

The groups could see some of their financial pressure eased depending on the outcomes of measures on the November ballots that would add a state constitutional right to abortion in nine states.

In four of the states — Florida , Missouri , Nebraska and South Dakota — passage would overturn current bans and potentially mean that many people could access abortion without traveling.

Organizers of some of the funds say that some supporters have been contributing to the ballot measure campaigns.
