Abortion is legal in Montana and we are here to ensure that it’s accessible, too. MAAP ensures no one is denied an abortion because of their inability to pay. We offer financial, practical (covering the costs of travel, lodging, food, and/or childcare), and emotional support to our clients. We work with folks facing barriers to accessing abortion care, including both Montanans and folks seeking abortion care in Montana. We trust our clients to know their bodies and needs best.

A passion for and commitment to protecting and ensuring access to abortion care for all people who seek it and;
Experience with nonprofit management, fundraising, and a combination of strategy and implementation.
