Basically, the FAT is an event where RRFP (and many many other abortion funds across the nation) ask people in our communities to spend time from February through April fundraising on our behalf. We ask that you gather a team of people you want to work with, take what you already love, and make it into a fundraiser to meet your fundraising goals! At the end, we gather for a big End of BAT party and celebrate the amazing work we’ve all completed: we dance, we play games, we eat, we give out prizes, and RRFP lives to see another day :)
Where does the money go? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It all goes to RRFP, except for a small portion that’s shared with the National Network of Abortion Funds for credit card processing fees and helping us coordinate this national event. Almost all of RRFP’s annual budget comes from FAT!
Money goes to funding people’s abortions, logistics to support abortion access (travel, lodging, childcare), supporting other grassroots reproductive justice orgs like the Richmond Doula Project, and more!
What’s the goal? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
$50,000 is what RRFP needs to maintain our current abortion funding and full-spectrum doula budget. Anything over $50k goes towards funding paid positions to keep RRFP's work sustainable, which will allow us to support even more Virginians to get the healthcare they deserve.
We’re looking for 125 fundraisers to raise $400 each-- that’s just $37 a week until FAT season is over at the end of April!
How do we get the money to you? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Card donations can be made directly to your personal fundraising page, after you register.
