Join Camp BAF for Fund-a-Thon
At the Baltimore Abortion Fund (BAF), we know that community is the antidote to despair. Together, we can ensure that more people have access to the abortion care they need, want and deserve. This spring, we're mobilizing our community to take action and raise $100,000 to fund abortion across Maryland – and beyond!
Demand for funding is at an all-time high, and our weekly budget is stretched thin. Every week, we're forced to turn away callers who cannot afford their abortion care because we just don’t have enough. Reaching our collective fundraising goal means we can help 150 people afford their abortion and make the best decision for their lives, families, and futures.
That’s why we’re asking you to join Camp BAF for Fund-a-Thon.
Why Camp BAF?
Camp BAF is our theme for this year’s Fund-a-Thon. We’re bringing the spirit of summer camp to the fight for abortion access. Think forging and deepening friendships, community events, sharing stories, teach-ins about access issues, and more.
What is Fund-a-Thon and how can I get involved?
Fund-a-Thon is our largest fundraising and community organizing campaign of the year. It’s more than just fundraising—it’s about building a movement.

FAQS
1. What is Fund-a-Thon?
Every spring, abortion funds across the country have a fundraising campaign, Fund-a-Thon, to raise money for abortion access. Abortion funds make abortion care more accessible by providing financial and logistical support to people having abortions.
When you raise money for your local abortion fund, you're not just supporting the movement for abortion access — you're also helping fund a service and volunteer network in your own community.
2. Why support local abortion funds?
Abortion access is under attack across the country, and an ecosystem of local funds helps abortion seekers everywhere access the services they need. BAF is a nonprofit organization that provides financial and logistical support to Maryland residents and people traveling to Maryland for abortion care.
This year we’re aiming to raise $100,000 and make abortions as accessible as possible in Maryland!
