The National Network of Abortion Funds (NNAF) is an American non-profit organization. It was created to increase access to abortion for low-income people across the United States.[4]

In 2000, the Fund led the Campaign for Access to Reproductive Equity, which was meant to reverse the Hyde Amendment and make it possible for people to get Medicaid funding for abortions.[5]
