What We Do

1 in 4 people will have an abortion in their lifetime. The fact is that you love someone who has had an abortion, even if you don't know it. Abortion is essential healthcare and we provide resources so that Nebraskans can access equitable abortion care without having to forego basic needs. NEAR provides assistance paying for procedures as well as making sure folks can get to and from their appointment with all their basic needs met. We provide resources for lodging, travel, food, childcare and medication.

Interesting Info
  • Nearly 50% of folks who access abortion care in Nebraska need financial assistance and/or practical support.
  • We began funding abortions and supporting folks logistically in January 2022 and are the ONLY state wide nonprofit abortion fund in Nebraska!
  • We have served over 500 people since 2022!
