In its five years, South Carolina’s Palmetto Abortion Fund has helped more than 2,000 women receive the procedure by going to states where abortion is more accessible. Working remotely through phones and an app, the volunteer-run nonprofit funded 1,022 abortions across seven states in 2024, spending $312,859, up from 390 procedures in 2023 and 200 in 2021. It has 2,000 individual donors across the country, but fundraising has slowed, and the fund has had to cap most grants at $300. Meanwhile the state legislature continues to consider tightening South Carolina’s six-week abortion ban. (Post and Courier)
Almost all of some 20 groups in Boston surveyed by the Boston Globe about their pledges to racial justice causes in the wake of George Floyd’s murder five years ago say they have fulfilled or are in the process of honoring their commitments. “At least 20 foundations, organizations, and corporations pledged about $1 billion in grants, investments, and scholarships for equity-related causes,” according to a Globe review that could not independently verify many of the donors’ claims. Some recipients say the money has come with fewer strings and less paperwork, and that some donors have stepped up giving to replace canceled federal grants. Many worry, though, that the urgency around racial justice has faded and philanthropy’s focus will soon shift elsewhere. (Boston Globe)
