About WHEF
The Women's Health & Education Fund of Rhode Island (WHEF) is an all-volunteer organization that supports Rhode Islanders who choose abortion or contraceptive care but cannot afford the cost. WHEF is also a participating member organization of the National Network of Abortion Funds, a collective of over 70 independent abortion funds.
The vision of the Women’s Health and Education Fund (WHEF) is that abortion and contraceptive care be accessible to all Rhode Island residents, regardless of their economic status or insurance coverage.
The mission of WHEF is to secure funding to subsidize the cost of abortion and contraceptive care. Through partnerships with clinics, community organizations, and nationwide abortion funds, WHEF distributes these subsidies to Rhode Island residents in need of them, and seeks to bring awareness of the availability of its funds to all communities within the state.
