September Reproductive Health Grants: Research, Funds, and Rapid Response

September brings a mix of opportunities for reproductive health nonprofits and researchers. Some of these funders work with rolling deadlines, which means you can apply whenever you're ready rather than racing against a calendar date. That flexibility can take some pressure off your timeline, though it also means these opportunities won't wait forever. Let's look at what's available this month.

Society of Family Planning: Grant for Researchers with Terminated NIH Abortion and Contraception Grants

If your organization has been supporting researchers whose NIH grants focused on abortion or contraception were terminated after January 20, 2025, this funder wants to help them finish the work. The Society of Family Planning is offering up to $100,000 per award to tax-exempt organizations on behalf of a named principal investigator. The goal is straightforward: ensure that disrupted research still reaches its intended scientific and public health impact. This is a rolling deadline, so you can move at your own pace. Apply here

National Network of Abortion Funds: Grant for Abortion Fund Nonprofits

If you're a member of the NNAF network, this funder has multiple pathways to support your work. They offer multi-year general operating support, rolling grants for special projects, technical assistance, and funding for emergent gatherings. The application process is designed to be simple, and they've intentionally kept reporting burdens light. This is rolling, so reach out when you're ready. Apply here

Caring for Colorado: Grant for Reproductive Health Nonprofits and Clinics

Caring for Colorado funds nonprofits and clinics expanding access to free or low-cost contraceptive methods, person-centered contraceptive care, and reproductive health education. Grants up to $50,000 can cover contraceptive supplies, office visit costs, provider training, health educator support, and community outreach. They prioritize serving rural communities, adolescents, immigrants, refugees, and 2SLGBTQIA+ individuals. This is a rolling deadline. Apply here

Women's Way: Rapid Response Grant for Gender Equity Nonprofits

Women's Way's rapid response fund is built for the moment when something unexpected happens and your organization needs to move fast. They offer one-time grants up to $10,000 for nonprofits responding to specific, unanticipated events or challenges that threaten your ability to do gender equity work. That includes reproductive justice, safety from gender-based violence, economic self-sufficiency, and girls' leadership development. They make decisions within 10 business days of application. This is rolling. Apply here
