Elevated Access remains committed to providing transportation for abortion and gender-affirming care for exactly that reason. As a nonprofit organization, we depend on donations from supporters like you to exist. So, to ensure we continue growing our operations, we have a 12-hour matching gift challenge on Giving Tuesday. Today only, from 8am to 8pm ET, your gift to Elevated Access will be QUADRUPLE MATCHED.

UPDATE: We hit our original $2,500 goal by 11:30am ET because of all of our supporters' enthusiasm- so we're doubling it to $5,000!

But why support Elevated Access today? Let us tell you.

How we use donations

With volunteer pilots being the core of our work, we constantly recruit and retain those pilots. When a flight referral comes to us, our flight coordinators must assess the best options to complete the request, contact potential volunteers, and make all the arrangements in coordination with the pilots, partners, and passengers. If the trip is really far or if our partner cannot afford the cost, we will purchase airline tickets to make sure no one is left behind. All of that takes a lot of money to facilitate including the direct cost of airline tickets.

How passengers come to Elevated Access through partners who assess priority and need. How flights are planned by flight coordinators connecting passengers to pilots.

What we've done

With the ongoing struggle of people seeking abortion plus the expansion of restrictions on gender-affirming care, the demand for our services has grown by more than 115% since six months ago. About half of our requests are completed with airline flights.

It's about people

You don't need to take our word for the impact our work can have on someone's life. Hear it directly from Brittany herself, a passenger we helped flee a domestic abuse situation and get control over her own body again with access to an abortion.
