Funding the Nation’s Largest Abortion Business: An Investigation into Public and Private Support of Planned Parenthood

Editor’s Note (5/15/2025): This paper has been updated to account for the latest Planned Parenthood annual report, which was released within hours of this paper’s original publication on May 12, 2025. For additional summary analysis of the annual report itself, please see CLI’s “Fact Sheet: Planned Parenthood’s 2023-24 Annual Report.”
This is Issue 33 of the American Reports Series.
Executive Summary:
- Planned Parenthood is a “nonprofit” organization with annual revenue exceeding $2 billion, prioritizing abortion above all else. Any form of government money to Planned Parenthood only serves to support its advocacy and provision of abortion.
- This paper examines Planned Parenthood’s government funding from Centers for Medicare and Medicaid, Children’s Health Insurance Program, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Paycheck Protection Program administered by the Small Business Administration, as well as disclosed private donors and foundations.
- In 2022-23, it is estimated that Planned Parenthood received at least $233,293,400 in revenue from various sources for abortions performed.
- 44% of current Title X grantees (FY24), excluding territories, provide funding to at least one Planned Parenthood location, either as a subrecipient or service site within their projects.
- In just four years, Planned Parenthood’s overall reported revenue has increased by over $384 million.
Introduction
This study discloses the publicly available external funding sources for Planned Parenthood Federation of America, Inc. and its affiliates (collectively, “Planned Parenthood”) from 2016-2024, with the primary focus on the years between 2019-2024. Identified funding sources encompass government sources, including but not limited to Medicaid, the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP), numerous grants issued by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (e.g., Title X) and lesser-known sources, such as the Paycheck Protection Program administered by the Small Business Administration. Sources of government-facilitated funding[1] are also included. Finally, while more difficult to locate, known donations from private donors and foundations are included. Although Planned Parenthood claims to “offer a robust vision and common sense solutions designed to protect women’s health and safety and the basic human rights of us all,”[2] it prioritizes abortion access above all else. Though the Hyde Amendment is supposed to protect federal monies from directly funding abortions, any and all funding given to Planned Parenthood will ultimately serve its core mission of advocating for and performing abortions.
Methodology
Parameters
This study only reviewed funding related to the Planned Parenthood Federation of America, Inc. (PPFA) and its affiliates located within the United States, without reviewing the funding of International Planned Parenthood Federation and its international locations. The study was also limited to years 2016-2024 and excluded donations and funds from Planned Parenthood Political Action Committees (PACs) and national, state, or local advocacy entities, such as the Planned Parenthood Action Fund.
For Medicaid/Medicare and HHS Funding
The study reviewed past reports from the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO), one covering 2019-2021,[3] and another one covering 2016-2018.[4] To obtain data more recent than 2021, searches were conducted through the Tracking Accountability in Government Grants System operated by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS TAGGS).[5] TAGGS search, however, did not account for monies obtained as pass-through grants.[6]
For Title X
The study reviewed the latest Title X Family Planning Directory for Planned Parenthood funding,[7] state by state, including Washington, D.C., but excluding any other territories of Planned Parenthood funding for each state by region. This was done to determine which grantees had a Planned Parenthood location within their funding projects.
The author then reviewed each current grantee, checking for those that had Planned Parenthood locations. This background research was then compared with Planned Parenthood subgrantees and site locations listed in the Title X Directory to determine the percentage of Planned Parenthood locations funded associated with each highlighted grantee.
For Private Contributions & Bequests
Because the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that 501(c)3 organizations are not required to publicly post the names of their donors,[8] finding information on private contributions required a Google search for terms such as “Planned Parenthood donors” and “major gifts to Planned Parenthood,” which revealed private foundations and individuals who had voluntarily made their contributions public. The IRS confirms that tax-exempt organizations are not required to make donor information available (including in Form 990 Schedule B).[9] A review of the past three 990s of PPFA shows no donors listed under Schedule B, or else has Schedule B omitted from its 990s.[10]
In the case of foundations, 990s ranging from 2019 to their most current were reviewed. For individuals, this study relied on reports from reputable media.
For Non-Government Health Services Revenue
The amount of money Planned Parenthood generated from providing “health” services is from its most recent annual report.[11] While not every such service could be accounted for by dollar amount, a minimum amount of revenue obtained from abortions was calculated by reviewing Planned Parenthood’s own disclosure of what it charges for abortion, on average, and taking the lowest cost for an abortion (the average cost of a drug-induced abortion) at Planned Parenthood and multiplying that number by the number of abortions it disclosed in its latest annual report as being conducted in 2022-23. (Note again that the service data from Planned Parenthood’s 2023-24 annual report lags behind other data in the report, and instead includes data from 2022-23). A second method, drawing on CDC data, was used to calculate an amount closer to what Planned Parenthood likely made from all abortions (both drug-induced and surgical) at various gestational ages (see the section “Non-Government Health Services Revenue” below).
Limitations
HHS provides the public with a searchable website, Tracking Accountability in Government Grant System (TAGGS),[12] but TAGGS tracks grants awarded directly by HHS and does not include detailed information on subawards or pass-through grants administered by primary recipients to subrecipients.
GAO reports provide a fuller picture of Planned Parenthood funding than any other sources because federal agencies are generally required by law to provide requested information about their “duties, powers, activities, organization, and financial transactions” when the GAO Comptroller General requires this information as part of fulfilling its work. For federal grants to Planned Parenthood, the GAO has noted their sources, such as “cooperative agreements,” interviews with agency officials, and audit reports from the Federal Audit Clearinghouse.[13] The federal law establishing and governing GAO provides the ability for GAO to make government spending more transparent, such as in these published reports, accounting for pass-through monies—information that would not be readily available to the public. For 2022-2024 data, the study relied on TAGGS. This means that while TAGGS provides comprehensive data on direct federal grants, it might not account for funds that are passed through to other entities by the initial grant recipients.[14]
Finally, all the private contributions and bequests funding sources could not be obtained because Planned Parenthood does not publicly disclose the names of all its donors, as noted by one of its affiliates.[15]
Funding Overview
As of November 2023, Planned Parenthood had over 600 locations across the country.[16] In its most recent annual report, these 501(c)3 organizations collectively provided 402,230 abortions, 2,223,680 contraceptive services, and only 2,148 adoption referrals in 2022-2023.[17]
According to its most recent annual report (2023-2024), Planned Parenthood received $2.026 billion in revenue.[18] This amount is broken down as follows:
- 39% “Government Health Services Reimbursements & Grants”[19]– $792.2 million
- 34% “Private Contributions & Bequests”[20] – $684.1 million
- 17% “Non-Government Health Services Revenue”[21] – $350.5 million
- 10% “Other Operating Revenue” – $210.7 million
Note that, although Planned Parenthood’s most recent annual report is for 2023-24, not all of the data in this report is in fact drawn from that time period. As mentioned above, in the case of information regarding services, this data is drawn from 2022-23. Similarly, portions of the report’s data regarding revenue amounts, provided by affiliates rather than national organization figures, represent 2022-23 data. So, for example, because all $792.2 million of “government health services reimbursements & grants” are entirely derived from information provided by affiliates,[22] this financial data reflects 2022-23, rather than 2023-24, data. By contrast, for “private contributions & bequests” and “other operating revenue,” it appears that the affiliate portions of their totals are drawn from 2022-23, whereas the national portions are drawn from 2023-24.[23] Similar considerations apply to previous annual Planned Parenthood reports.
In just four years, from 2019-20 to 2023-24, Planned Parenthood’s overall reported revenue has increased by over $384 million:[24]
- FY 2023-2024: $2.026 billion[25]
- FY 2022-2023: $2.054 billion[26]
- FY 2021-2022: $1.90 billion[27]
- FY 2020-2021: $1.714 billion[28]
- FY 2019-2020: $1.641 billion[29]
Government Health Services Reimbursements & Grants
I. Medicaid/Medicare & Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP)
Congress has tried to keep federal monies from funding abortion primarily through the Hyde Amendment, which is a legislative provision barring the use of federal funds to pay for abortion, except to save the life of the woman, or if the pregnancy arises from incest or rape. As of May 31, 2023, the Hyde Amendment had saved approximately 2,566,968 lives.[30] Despite the Hyde Amendment, Planned Parenthood, the nation’s largest abortion provider, continues to receive billions of dollars from Medicaid.
For 2019-2021, HHS “obligated” to Planned Parenthood $1.535 billion through grants or cooperative agreements from Medicaid/CHIP and $3.28 million from Medicare. [31]
While data on Medicaid/CHIP and Medicare funding to Planned Parenthood after 2021 is not available, Planned Parenthood has historically collected hundreds of million annually from Medicaid/CHIP and Medicare. Its funding from 2016-2018 for these programs totaled $1,293.12 million (or $1.293 billion), according to a 2020 GAO report.[32]
Additionally, 20 states have defied the federal government by expanding using their own funds to pay for abortion under Medicaid. These states are Alaska, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Montana, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, Rhode Island, Washington, and Vermont.[33]
II. Health and Human Services Grants
For the funding information in this section, a GAO report that identified the top 15 HHS programs Planned Parenthood expended funds from between 2019-2021, combined with results from a TAGGS search of funds awarded, were reviewed. Which funding estimates came from HHS funds expended and which from HHS funds awarded is clarified on a case-by-case basis below. Note also that all expenditure amounts were only available for 2019-2021, whereas amounts of funds awarded were available, via TAGGS search, for all of 2019-2024. However, as explained below, many grants awarded to Planned Parenthood are “pass-through grants,” so the actual figure Planned Parenthood received may be higher.
A word on the unavailability of pass-through grants funding information post-2021
According to IGX Solutions, “Pass-through grants start with the federal government, which uses an intermediary like a nonprofit or state government agency to distribute the funds. The intermediaries then take the money and give it to local organizations that need it.”[34]
The report from the GAO supplied the data for HHS funding and expenditure figures from 2019-2021. It is important to note that due to GAO’s mission and federal law, federal agencies can be required to provide certain requested information, including financial information, to the GAO Comptroller General for the purpose of audits and investigative duties.[35] As such, the GAO has access to resources not generally available to the public or are not easily located, such as “cooperative agreements,” interviews with agency officials, and 58 audit reports from 35 Planned Parenthood affiliates.[36] These resources help the GAO account for pass-through monies, which can be difficult for the public to track. HHS provides the public with a searchable website, Tracking Accountability in Government Grants System (TAGGS), but TAGGS tracks grants awarded directly by HHS and does not include detailed information on subawards or pass-through grants administered by primary recipients to subrecipients. This means that while TAGGS provides comprehensive data on direct federal grants, it might not account for funds that are passed through to other entities by the initial grant recipients.[37]
Only five of the 17 HHS grants discussed below (the aforementioned 15 grants listed in the GAO report plus two others) are provided through direct funding:
- Teenage Pregnancy Prevention Program (ALN 93.297)
- Personal Responsibility Education Program (ALN 93.092)
- Cooperative Agreement to Support Navigators in Federally-facilitated Exchanges (ALN 93.332)
- Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Projects of Regional and National Significance (ALN 93.243)
Grants to Provide Outpatient Early Intervention Services with Respect to HIV Disease (ALN 93.918) Based on TAGGS searches,[38] the total amount of all direct funding to Planned Parenthood by any HHS grant program between 2022-2024 was $81.24 million.[39] Broken down by year:
Two of the 17 grants discussed below represent unique circumstances.
- Title X (ALN 93.217) is a combination of both direct and pass-through grants. While the total funding of pass-through grants is not included in this study, direct funding and other significant insights were obtained.
- Medical Assistance Program (ALN 93.778), Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, while listed as a top 15 grant in the previously mentioned 2023 report for the GAO, is discussed in Section I above. For 2019-2021, Planned Parenthood received $1.535 billion from Medicaid/CHIP and $3.28 million from Medicare.[43]
The remaining 10 grants discussed below are grants awarded to states who then provide these monies to sub-entities, i.e. pass-through grants. For these 10 grants, this study reported the monies expended by Planned Parenthood locations from 2019-2021 as reported in the 2023 GAO report.[44]
1. Title X: ALN 93.217 – Family Planning Services (Title X Services) Office of Assistant Secretary for Health
Program Summary
Commonly known as Title X, this program funds service grantees who support hundreds of subrecipients and thousands of service sites.[45] Family planning includes a broad range of services related to achieving pregnancy, preventing pregnancy, and assisting women, men, and couples with achieving their desired number and spacing of children.
Unlike most other grants, Title X awards based on “Projects.”[46] Accordingly, one entity can receive funding for multiple Projects. These projects are typically, but not necessarily, confined to one state, or they may be regional. A grantee receives the funding and then may distribute this funding among its various subrecipients and site locations. See the section entitled “definitions” below for more explanation. For example, the current list of Title X grantees published by the HHS Office of Population Affairs lists five entities that were awarded multiple grants for Projects in different states of different amounts of funding.[47]
From 2019-2024, Planned Parenthood was awarded around $66 million of direct funding through Title X, as follows:
The 2019-2021 data reflects a lower amount than Planned Parenthood normally receives because Planned Parenthood refused to abide by the Protect Life Rule, and so lost a significant amount of federal funding, from May 3, 2019[50] through November 8, 2021.[51]
Additionally, it is highly likely that Planned Parenthood indirectly received significant funding from Title X. See the section below entitled “Title X Indirect Funding of Planned Parenthood” for more information.
Definitions
Title X uses certain terms that have important meanings, including Project, Grantee, Subrecipient, and Service Site:
Project[52]: Under Title X, a Project refers to the comprehensive set of family planning services and activities supported by a Title X grant, which may include multiple grantees, subrecipients and service sites, and (1) is administered by a grantee and consists of the full network of subrecipients and service sites funded under that grant, (2) can cover a single state, multiple states, or specific regions within a state, depending on the grantee’s scope.
Grantee[53]: A Grantee is an entity that receives federal Title X funds directly from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Office of Population Affairs (OPA). Grantees are responsible for overseeing the use of funds, ensuring compliance with Title X regulations, and managing the network of subrecipients and service sites under their project. Grantees can be state health departments, nonprofit organizations, Planned Parenthood affiliates, public health agencies, or other qualified entities. A Grantee applies for a Project.
Subrecipient[54]: A Subrecipient is an organization or entity that receives Title X funds from a grantee rather than directly from the federal government. Subrecipients operate under the supervision of the grantee and are responsible for delivering family planning services in accordance with Title X requirements. Subrecipients may include county health departments, community health centers, hospitals, and Planned Parenthood affiliates.
Service Site[55]: A Service Site is a physical location where Title X-funded family planning services are provided. These sites may be operated by grantees or subrecipients and include community health centers, Planned Parenthood clinics, university health centers, and local health departments.
History
Title X was enacted in 1970 as an addition to the Public Health Service Act (the “Act”), becoming the only federal grant program directed solely at providing individuals and families with comprehensive family planning and related reproductive health services.[56] Title X provides ample funding for interested nonprofits. The involvement of abortion in Title X funding has varied significantly, depending on the presidential administration starting with the Reagan administration.[57] Planned Parenthood has historically been the largest recipient of Title X funds. Between 2019-2024, Planned Parenthood received over $60 million in direct Title X funding.[58]
For FY2024, HHS awarded $261 million to 86 organizations, as primary grantees, in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and seven territories.[59] Thirteen of the primary grantees are Planned Parenthoods.[60]
Title X Indirect Funding of Planned Parenthood
As noted above, Planned Parenthood is a major recipient of Title X funds, including both primary grantees and subrecipients. As a primary grantee, Planned Parenthood was issued $65.92 million of direct funding through Title X from 2019-2024.[61] Planned Parenthood, however, has also received funding indirectly from Title X by serving as a subrecipient or service site under another primary grantee’s project. Taking the current fiscal year as an example, Title X currently funds 79 projects within the United States, excluding US territories, according to the current Title X grantees.[62] A review of the Title X provider directory (October 2024)[63] reveals that:
- Funding for projects was awarded to 35 grantees that include one or more Planned Parenthood locations within their funding projects:[64]
-
- 13 of these grantees are Planned Parenthood entities.
-
-
- All of these (Planned Parenthood grantees) allocate 100% of their funding to Planned Parenthood locations.
-
-
- 22 other grantees fund Planned Parenthood subrecipients and/or site locations.[65]
- 44.3% of the 79 current Title X grantees (FY24), excluding territories, provide funding to at least one Planned Parenthood location, either as a subrecipient or service site within their projects.[66] Among Title X projects that fund one or more Planned Parenthood locations:
-
- Approximately 9% of the total subrecipients and site locations are Planned Parenthood facilities.
- The total Title X funding allocated to all grantees that include a Planned Parenthood within their projects is $130,471,448.[67]
- Three states allocate 100% of their Title X funds to Planned Parenthood locations:
- Hawaii
- Utah
- Vermont
- In all other states, Title X projects distribute funding among multiple subrecipients and/or site locations, though the distribution is not always equal.[68]
As of April 1, 2025, the Trump administration froze $27.5 million in Title X funding for certain organizations “as it investigates whether they’re complying with the law,” impacting 16 organizations including 11 Planned Parenthood regional affiliates.[69]
Planned Parenthood’s Use of Title X Funding Illustrates Its Abortion Priority
On August 19, 2019, the “Protect Life Rule,” which was designed to re-establish the original bright-line separation between abortion and the use of Title X funding, went into effect. At that time, Planned Parenthood received approximately $7 million[70] in direct federal Title X funding. Following the Trump administration’s revoking the Title X requirement that mandated abortion referrals, Planned Parenthood along with other organizations and departments of health returned $33.6 million,[71] which was offered for reallocated to other Title X grantees.[72]
In a letter to the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, Planned Parenthood indicated that all Planned Parenthood grantees and subgrantees will withdraw from the Title X program by close of business that day, and return any related grant monies to the federal government.[73] This letter revealed that Planned Parenthood’s top priority is performing abortion, rather than preventing a pregnancy that may lead to an abortion.
Notably, Planned Parenthood claimed, and still claims, that it uses Title X funds to provide low-income women with wellness exams, “lifesaving cervical and breast cancer screenings,” birth control, contraception education, and STI testing and treatment.[74] Planned Parenthood’s willingness to sacrifice Title X funding for family planning so that it may continue to refer and advocate for abortion, and even collocate with abortion facilities, demonstrates that Planned Parenthood cares less about helping low-income women than it does about maintaining its lucrative abortion business.
2. ALN-93.297 – Teenage Pregnancy Prevention Program, Office of Assistant Secretary for Health
Program Summary
The Teen Pregnancy Prevention (TPP) Program, established in 2010 by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ Office of Population Affairs (OPA), is a national, evidence-based initiative aimed at reducing teen pregnancy rates across the United States.[75]
From 2019-2024, Planned Parenthood received $27.68 million for this program, as follows:
3. ALN-93.994 – Title V Maternal and Child Health Services Block Grant to the States, Health Resources and Services Administration
The Title V Maternal and Child Health (MCH) Services Block Grant, established under Title V of the Social Security Act of 1935, is a pivotal federal program dedicated to improving the health and well-being of mothers, infants, and children, including those with special healthcare needs, and their families across the United States. Administered by the Maternal and Child Health Bureau (MCHB) within the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), this grant funds U.S. states and territories to foster federal-state partnerships to address diverse maternal and child health challenges. States and jurisdictions receive annual formula-based grants, determined by population size and specific needs, to design and implement a wide range of MCH activities.[78]
From 2019-2021, Planned Parenthood expended $10.92 million[79] in funding from this program. Data for 2022-2024 is not publicly available due to this grant operating as a pass-through grant for states and territories.[80]
4. ALN-93.667 – Social Services Block Grant (SSBG), Administration for Children and Families
The Social Services Block Grant (SSBG), administered by the Office of Community Services (OCS) within the Administration for Children and Families (ACF), was established under Title XX of the Social Security Act. SSBG supports a wide array of services aimed at achieving economic self-sufficiency, preventing or remedying neglect, abuse, or exploitation, reducing inappropriate institutional care, and securing institutional care when necessary. Each state determines the services to be provided and the individuals eligible to receive them, allowing for a customized approach to social service delivery. Common services funded by the SSBG include childcare, child welfare, services for individuals with disabilities, case management, and protective services for adults.[81]
From 2019-2021, Planned Parenthood expended $8.21 million[82] in funding from this program. Data for 2022-2024 is not publicly available due to this grant operating as a pass-through grant for states and territories.[83]
5. ALN-93.092 – Affordable Care Act (ACA) Personal Responsibility Education Program (PREP), Administration for Children and Families
Program Summary
The Personal Responsibility Education Program (PREP), established under the Affordable Care Act of 2010, is a federal initiative designed to educate adolescents on both abstinence and contraception to prevent pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections (STIs), including HIV/AIDS. Administered by the Family and Youth Services Bureau (FYSB) within the Administration for Children and Families (ACF), PREP aims to equip youth with the knowledge and skills necessary for making informed decisions regarding their sexual health.[84]
From 2019-2024, Planned Parenthood received $11.1 million for this program, as follows:
6. ALN-93.558 – Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), Administration for Children and Families
Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) is a federal program established in 1996 to assist low-income families in achieving self-sufficiency. The program provides block grants totaling $16.5 billion annually to states, granting them flexibility to design and administer services that best meet their residents’ needs. These funds can be used for various purposes, including cash assistance, childcare, job training, and initiatives aimed at reducing out-of-wedlock pregnancies and promoting two-parent families.[87]
From 2019-2021, Planned Parenthood expended $4.50 million[88] in funding from this program. Data for 2022-2024 is not publicly available due to this grant operating as a pass-through grant for states, tribes and territories.[89]
7. Medical Assistance Program (ALN 93.778), Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services
This grant corresponds to Section I above, “Medicaid/Medicare & Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP).” The aforementioned section discusses the amount of funding that HHS “obligated” to Planned Parenthood through grants or cooperative agreements. Because this particular grant (ALN 93.778) is provided to states only, the funding would be given to Planned Parenthood entities as “pass-through” grants from a state, and as such, traditional searches on HHS produce no results for Planned Parenthood as a main grantee.
8. ALN-93.914 – HIV Emergency Relief Project, Health Resources and Services Administration
Also known as the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program (RWHAP) Part A HIV Emergency Relief Grant Program, this program provides financial assistance to Eligible Metropolitan Areas (EMAs) and Transitional Grant Areas (TGAs) severely affected by the HIV epidemic. These grants aim to enhance access to a comprehensive continuum of high-quality, community-based care for low-income individuals and families with HIV.[90]
From 2019-2021, Planned Parenthood expended $2.43 million[91] in funding from this program. Data for 2022-2024 for Planned Parenthood is not publicly available.
9. ALN-93.498 – Provider Relief Fund (PFR), Health Resources and Services Administration
Program Summary
This grant was established under the CARES Act to support healthcare providers during the COVID-19 pandemic. Administered by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), the PRF allocated funds to eligible providers to reimburse healthcare-related expenses or lost revenues attributable to coronavirus. As of March 2025, PRF is no longer disbursing new payments.[92]
From 2019-2021, Planned Parenthood expended $1.65 million[93] in funding from this program. Data for 2022-2024 for Planned Parenthood is not publicly available
10. ALN-93.940 – HIV Prevention Activities, CDC
Administered by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), this grant seeks to assist state and local health departments in establishing and maintaining comprehensive HIV prevention and surveillance programs. The primary objectives are to prevent new HIV infections, improve health outcomes for individuals living with HIV, and reduce HIV-related health disparities.[94]
From 2019-2021, Planned Parenthood expended $1.46 million[95] in funding from this program. Data for 2022-2024 is not publicly available due to this grant operating as a pass-through grant for government health departments.[96]
11. ALN-93.865 – Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research, NIH
Program Summary
Administered by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), this program supports a wide array of research initiatives aimed at understanding human development, enhancing reproductive health, improving the lives of children and adolescents, and optimizing abilities for all individuals. Key objectives include conducting laboratory research, clinical trials, and population studies to explore growth, development, biological and reproductive functions, behavior patterns, and population dynamics.[97]
From 2019-2021, Planned Parenthood expended $0.81 million[98] in funding from this program; however, this funding must have come indirectly because a TAGGS search[99] did not reveal Planned Parenthood as having received any direct grant under this program. It is important to note that the 2019-2021 figure is from the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO). As noted under “Methodology” in this paper, GAO has access to resources such as “cooperative agreements,” interviews with agency officials, and 58 audit reports from 35 Planned Parenthood affiliates.[100]
12. ALN-93.073 – Birth Defects and Developmental Disabilities, CDC
Administered by the CDC, this program collaborates with state health agencies, universities, and public and private nonprofit organizations to plan, implement, coordinate or evaluate programs, research, or surveillance activities aimed at improving birth outcomes and enhancing infant and child health and developmental outcomes.[101]
From 2019-2021, Planned Parenthood expended $0.58 million[102] in funding from this program; however, this funding must have come indirectly because a TAGGS search[103] for years 2019-2024 did not reveal Planned Parenthood as having received any direct grant under this program. It is important to note that the 2019-2021 figure is from the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO). As noted under “Methodology” in this paper, GAO has access to resources such as “cooperative agreements,” interviews with agency officials, and 58 audit reports from 35 Planned Parenthood affiliates.[104]
13. ALN-93.977 – STD Prevention, CDC
Administered by the CDC, this program seeks to strengthen STD prevention and control efforts across eligible jurisdictions, including state and local health departments, academic institutions, and public health organizations. The primary objectives encompass the development and implementation of nationally uniform prevention and control programs that emphasize core public health functions such as assessment, assurance, policy development, and prevention services.[105]
From 2019-2021, Planned Parenthood expended $0.27 million[106] in funding from this program; however, this funding must have come indirectly because a TAGGS search[107] did not reveal Planned Parenthood as having received any direct grant under this program. It is important to note that the 2019-2021 figure is from the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO). As noted under “Methodology” in this paper, GAO has access to resources, such as “cooperative agreements,” interviews with agency officials, and 58 audit reports from 35 Planned Parenthood affiliates.[108]
14. ALN-93.235 – Title V State Sexual Risk Avoidance Education, Administration for Children and Families
Program Summary
Administered by the Administration for Children and Families (ACF), this program provides funding to states and territories to implement education exclusively focused on sexual risk avoidance, teaching participants to voluntarily refrain from nonmarital sexual activity and other risky behaviors.[109]
From 2019-2021, Planned Parenthood expended $0.25 million[110] in funding from this program. Data for 2022-2024 is not publicly available due to this grant operating as a pass-through grant for states and territories.
15. ALN-93.332 – Cooperative Agreement to Support Navigators in Federally-Facilitated Exchanges
Program Summary
Administered by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), this program funds organizations to serve as navigators in states with Federally-Facilitated Exchanges (FFEs), as mandated by the Affordable Care Act, to raise awareness of and enroll people in the Health Insurance Marketplace.[111]
From 2019-2024, Planned Parenthood received around $0.42 million in funding for this program, as follows:
- 2019-2021: $0.217 million[112]
- 2022-2024: $0.17 million[113] for Planned Parenthood of the Heartland.
16. ALN-93.243 – Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Projects of Regional and National Significance
Program Summary
Administered by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), this program addresses priority substance abuse treatment, prevention, and mental health needs across regional and national levels. It provides grants and cooperative agreements to states, Indian tribes and tribal organizations, political subdivisions, and other public or nonprofit private entities.[114]
From 2019-2024, Planned Parenthood received $2.2 million for this program:
17. ALN-93.918 – Grants to Provide Outpatient Early Intervention Services with Respect to HIV Disease
Program Summary
Commonly known as Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program (RWHAP) Part C Early Intervention Services (EIS), this program is administered by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) under the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), and aims to support comprehensive HIV primary care and support services in outpatient settings for low-income individuals living with HIV.[117]
In 2023, Planned Parenthood of Southwest and Central Florida Inc., received $150,000 for this program.[118]
Lesser Known/Indirect Government Funding
I. Small Business Administration (SBA) Loans and Paycheck Protection Program
The 2023 GAO report noted that Planned Parenthood affiliates were fully forgiven of $90.41 million in SBA-guaranteed loans through the Paycheck Protection Program.[119]
II. SECC/CFC
Many Planned Parenthood locations are eligible to receive funding from various sources beyond private donations and government grants, including State Employee Charitable Campaigns (SECCs) and the Combined Federal Campaign (CFC). These programs enable state and federal employees to donate to charities directly from their paychecks via payroll deductions, typically taken post-tax, and offer donors the convenience of consistent giving and easy access to records for claiming tax deductions on their annual tax returns.
While employee charitable campaigns may not generate substantial funds, they provide nonprofits with exposure to new donors and a steady, reliable income stream. Many states highlight participating charities on their websites or through pamphlets and sometimes host events to connect charities with influential community members.
SECC:
The management and structure of SECCs vary widely by state. While most programs are labeled as “SECC,” or something similar, others use distinct names, such as California’s “Our Promise Campaign” or “Give Nebraska.” Some states directly administer SECCs, while others rely on third-party organizations, often local United Way branches, to manage the campaigns. States also differ in their processes for nonprofit participation: Some require charities to apply to be included on an approved list, while others allow donors to “write in” any tax-exempt nonprofit. In some cases, states preselect participating charities without an open application or nomination process.
Based on responses to Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests, 27 states and Washington, D.C. currently include one or more Planned Parenthood locations within their campaigns.[120]
CFC:
Like state SECC campaigns, the federal government also offers a charitable campaign for federal employees, run through the Office of Personnel Management (OPM). Since its inception in 1961, the Combined Federal Campaign (CFC) has raised nearly $8.7 billion for nonprofit organizations.[121] On January 1, 2016, OPM adopted new regulations to “improve donor participation, CFC infrastructure, and standards of transparency and accountability.”[122]
Charitable organizations may participate in the CFC by completing an annual application form via the online CFC application system.[123]
Planned Parenthood locations have successfully joined the CFC. For example, in the National/International section, donors will find International Planned Parenthood Federation, and the Planned Parenthood Federation of America. Within local sections, donors will commonly find numerous pregnancy help organizations (PHOs)[124] as well as pro-abortion organizations, such as local Planned Parenthoods. For example, a general search of “all zones” on January 29, 2025, produced 34 “Planned Parenthood” results.[125]
III. License Plates
Based on research of DMVs throughout the country, four states currently offer a pro-choice plate option: Alaska, Nebraska, Pennsylvania, and Virginia. In three of these states (NE, PA, and VA), monies from pro-choice plates fund and/or advertise a local or regional Planned Parenthood.[126]
Planned Parenthood Benefits from Any Government Funding
Because money is fungible, Planned Parenthood still benefits as long it receives any government funding. Even if Planned Parenthood were to not use any of the hundreds of millions of dollars from government funding on abortion, it could redirect private funding that would have been used for its general operations to fund abortion. By its own admission in its 2022-2023 annual report, Planned Parenthood organizations financially contributed to “more than 50,000” abortions.”[127]
IV. Private Contributions & Bequests
Planned Parenthood obtains substantial money from private donations and bequests. Broken down by year according to their annual reports, money obtained from such contributions and bequests is as follows[128]:
- 2023-2024: $684.1 million[129]
- 2022-2023: $997.5 million[130]
- 2021-2022: $694.9 million[131]
- 2020-2021: $579.3 million[132]
- 2019-2020: $510 million[133]
Because the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that 501(c)(3) organizations are not required to publicly post the name of their donors,[134] obtaining information about private donors and foundations funding Planned Parenthood is difficult. This information can be found in cases where the donors have publicly identified themselves, or where (in the case of foundations) a 990 can be reviewed.
A. Individual Donors
MacKenzie Scott
In 2022, billionaire MacKenzie Scott, the ex-wife of Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, revealed that she gave $275 million to Planned Parenthood, setting the record of making the largest single gift in Planned Parenthood’s over 100-year history.[135]
Lynn & Stacy Schusterman
As reported by Forbes:
“Run by the widow and daughter of oil billionaire Charles Schusterman, who died in 2000, the Charles and Lynn Schusterman Family Philanthropies has given [$5.6 million] to Planned Parenthood, Collaborative for Gender + Reproductive Equity and If/When/How, a nonprofit that works with law students and lawyers to advocate for reproductive justice.”[136]
Sheryl Sandberg
As reported by Forbes:
“The Facebook executive made a pair of $1 million donations [totaling $2 million] to Planned Parenthood in 2017 and 2019. After the draft decision on Roe was leaked, Sandberg wrote in a Facebook post that ‘one of our most fundamental rights will be taken away’ if Roe v. Wade is overturned.”[137]
Elaine Wynn
As reported by Forbes:
“The casino magnate donated $1 million to Planned Parenthood in 2017 after the Women’s March on Washington. Wynn told Fortune at the time that ‘as a woman, a mother and a grandmother, I’m proud to do what I can to help protect access to reproductive health care.’”[138]
B. Foundation Donors
Susan Thompson Buffett Foundation
Established in 1964 by investor Warren Buffett, the Susan Thompson Buffett Foundation focuses on contraceptive and pro-abortion initiatives globally.[139] Allen Greenberg serves as president.
In the 1990s, the Buffett Foundation “helped finance the development of the abortion drug RU-486 … From 2001 to 2014, it contributed more than $1.5 billion to abortion causes—including at least $427 million to Planned Parenthood worldwide [and] $168 million to the National Abortion Federation.” It has also funded the Guttmacher Institute, which “tracks demographic and legislative trends.”[140]
From 2019-2023, the Foundation gave a total of $141.6 million to Planned Parenthood as identified in the Foundation’s 990s for the following tax years:
- 2023[141]: $27,278,834.00
- 2022[142]: $32,251,398.00

- 2020[150]: $33,500,000.00
- 2019[151]: $6,500,000.00
Ford Foundation
The Ford Foundation is a global philanthropic organization established in 1936 by Edsel Ford and Henry Ford with an initial gift of $25,000 to promote human welfare. Darren Walker has served as its president since 2013. In July 2024, Walker announced his plan to step down by the end of 2025.[152] Following Cecile Richards’ passing in 2025, Walker penned a tribute to the former Planned Parenthood president, who had served on the Ford Foundation’s board of trustees.[153]
Based on a search[154] on the Ford Foundation website, between 2019-2025, it donated $11.035 million to Planned Parenthood.
Hewlett Foundation
Established in 1966 by engineer and entrepreneur Bill Hewlett and his wife, Flora, the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation is a nonprofit that says it “invests in creative thinkers and problem solvers who are working to ensure everyone has a meaningful opportunity to thrive.” Amber D. Miller currently serves as the foundation’s president.[155]
Based on a search[156] on the Hewlett Foundation website, between 2019-2024, it donated $7.86 million to Planned Parenthood.
John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation
Established in 1970 by insurance magnate John D. MacArthur and his wife Catherine, the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation addresses issues such as climate change, criminal justice reform, and nuclear risk reduction. John Palfrey currently serves as its president.
Based on a review of the MacArthur Foundation’s 990s for 2019-2023,[157] it gave a total of $18,664 to Planned Parenthood between these years.
Packard Foundation
Established in 1964 by HP co-founder David Packard and his wife, Lucile, the David and Lucile Packard Foundation is a private foundation, stating its vision as, “A just and equitable world where people and nature flourish.”[158]
Based on a search[159] on the Packard Foundation website, between 2020-2024, it donated $16.185 million to Planned Parenthood.
Bloomberg Family Foundation
In an op-ed,[160] Michael Bloomberg challenged Congress to codify abortion rights into federal law. According to Forbes, Bloomberg “spent $50 million on the issue during his lifetime, including at least $11 million to Planned Parenthood through the Bloomberg Family Foundation since 2015.”[161]
Of Note:
While this study excluded donations to International Planned Parenthood affiliates, PACs and Action/Advocacy funds, it is worth mentioning that two well-known influencers have contributed heavily to these organizations.
George Soros
As reported by Forbes:
“Through the Open Society Foundations, Democratic megadonor George Soros makes regular contributions to Planned Parenthood’s political advocacy arm, the Planned Parenthood Action Fund. His largest gift to the organization was in 2017 for $10 million.”[162]
Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation
Based on a review of its 990s, between 2019-2023, the foundation gave $24,129,924 in support of International Planned Parenthood, Planned Parenthood Worldwide, and other Planned Parenthood locations and projects outside the U.S.[163]
Non-Government Health Services Revenue
It is likely that the $350 million in non-governmental health services revenue reported in Planned Parenthood’s most recent annual report[164] is derived from various sources, including insurance and out-of-pocket payments from their clients. And a portion of this revenue could be estimated for abortions, covered by these sources, using the below methods.
Planned Parenthood discloses that the average costs of an abortion[165] at a Planned Parenthood range from $580 (for drug-induced abortion) to up to $2,000 (for in-clinic surgical abortions depending on weeks’ gestation).
Based on Planned Parenthood’s own data, these statistics would mean that Planned Parenthood received an estimated minimum of $233,293,400 for abortions in 2022-2023 – from any source, but likely predominantly private insurance, out-of-pocket payments, or state funding[166] – taking the lowest cost of abortion ($580) and multiplying this by the number of abortions performed (402,230), according to its latest annual report.[167] However, the actual total is likely far higher, since not all Planned Parenthood abortions are done by abortion drugs. Taking the share of all abortions performed at different gestational ages reported to the CDC and applying those percentages to Planned Parenthood’s abortion total suggests that Planned Parenthood made approximately $247 million from abortion.[168]
Women may be on the hook for these costs. A 2024 study published in Perspectives on Sexual and Reproductive Health[169] noted that “in states where abortion is not covered by Medicaid, the vast majority of patients pay out of pocket [for abortions].”
Conclusion
Abortion is the top priority for Planned Parenthood. The massive amounts of funding Planned Parenthood receives from the federal government, private individuals, and foundations, as detailed in this paper, assists in its mission of promoting and performing abortions. Planned Parenthood is open about its decision to prioritize abortion above all else. In fact, its previous annual report for 2022-2023 touts its work to expand abortion, stating, for example:
- “Since the Supreme Court’s [Dobbs] decision … more than 20 states have banned some or all abortions. For Planned Parenthood health center staff, this was a year of moving mountains: finding appointments in other states and the resources to get patients there, building as much capacity as possible for abortion appointments.”[170]
- “Demand at Planned Parenthood health centers in states where abortion is protected has soared by up to 700%.”[171]
- “In the year after the [Dobbs] decision, 90 patient navigators across 41 Planned Parenthood affiliates helped more than 33,000 people get the transportation and travel support, financial assistance, and referrals they needed to get abortion care. Planned Parenthood organizations expanded direct financial support to help patients cover the expense of abortion care and travel.”[172]
- Planned Parenthood also assisted women circumventing their state laws to travel out of states to obtain abortions. “More than 15,000 people received assistance to help cover travel costs.”[173] Additionally, Planned Parenthood organizations are directly funding abortion: “…more than 50,000 people received support to cover the costs of their abortion.”[174]
In Planned Parenthood’s latest annual report (2023-2024), its prioritization of abortion is all the more apparent:
- Planned Parenthood’s abortion services locator received more than 1.9 million visits from July 2023 to June 2024.[175]
- Planned Parenthood provided direct logistical and financial support (covering transportation, meals, and dependent care) for more than 12,500 women obtaining abortions—an estimated $3.4 million in expenditures, or an average of $275 per woman.[176]
- The number of individuals assisted by “abortion patient navigators” tripled—rising from 33,000 in FY23 to 100,000 in FY24 (a 203% increase).[177]
- The number of abortions performed by Planned Parenthood increased by 2.42%, from 392,715 in 2021-22 to 402,230 in 2022-23.[178]
What is more, changes in revenue from its 2022-2023 annual report to its 2023-2024 annual report reflect increased dependence on government funding to support its increasing provision of abortion. Consider the following:
- Total revenue declined slightly by 1.37%.[179]
- Government reimbursements and grants, however, rose by 13.29%.[180]
- Private donations were down by 31% – a $313.4 million decline.[181]
- “Other operating revenue” surged by 1,097%.[182]
While the exact sources are not disclosed, Planned Parenthood has historically included investment income, royalties, and asset sales in their “other revenue” category.[183] It is also possible that the “other revenue” category included loans forgiven under the 2021 Paycheck Protection Program (PPP).[184] As of May 1, 2023, $90.41 million of loan debt from the PPP had been forgiven.”[185]
Planned Parenthood has also announced its efforts to increase the numbers of abortions in the United States. In 2020, Planned Parenthood joined forces with the National Abortion Federation to launch abortionfinder.org.[186] As stated in the 2022-23 annual report, “863,000 users accessed abortionfinder.org … from Planned Parenthood’s websites between July 2022 – June 2023.”[187]
Planned Parenthood’s decision to prioritize abortion access with its funding is reflected in its lack of care for women. While the pro-life movement is focused on creating a nation-wide “safety net”[188] to provide compassionate care for women facing a decision related to pregnancy, Planned Parenthood is developing what it describes as a “spider web” to capture women into abortion.
As reported by Reuters, one Planned Parenthood official describes its effort to build a network of patient navigators, whose purpose is to secure money and transportation for women to get abortion:
“‘It’s really a big spider web that’s being built throughout the country,’ said Angela Huntington in Missouri. She was hired in September as the first patient navigator at the Planned Parenthood Great Plains affiliate, which operates clinics in Arkansas, Missouri, Oklahoma and Kansas.”[189]
A recent expose’ in the New York Times reveals more shocking information related to Planned Parenthood’s abortion priority and lack of care for clients and staff. Some key passages from that expose’ are as follows:
- “Since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in 2022, Planned Parenthood has enjoyed a fund-raising boom, with $498 million in donations that year. But little of it goes to the state affiliates to provide health care at clinics. Instead, under the national bylaws, the majority of the money is spent on the legal and political fight to maintain abortion rights.”[190]
- “Over the last five years, the national office has distributed more than $899 million to affiliates to help them deliver care, but none of it went directly to medical services. By charter, the mission of Planned Parenthood Federation of America is to ‘provide leadership, advocacy and education in the field of reproductive health care.’”[191]
- “Many clinics are in dire need of upgrades and repairs. In Omaha last year, sewage from a backed-up toilet seeped into the abortion recovery room for two days, according to interviews with staff members and photographs and text messages shared with The Times. Employees shoved exam table pads under the bathroom door to block the leak. Patients vomited from the stench.”[192]
- “Employees said there has been constant pressure to more than double the number of patients seen from the present 2.1 million, to help bring in more revenues.”[193]
- “Training has been a constant issue, especially for medical assistants, who are not required to have medical training to work in the clinics. … They recount stories of seeing children as young as 12 and 13 years old receive abortions, sometimes because a family member impregnated them.”[194]
Overall, Planned Parenthood has built itself up to a “nonprofit” organization with annual revenue exceeding $2 billion. Despite messaging to the contrary, Planned Parenthood prioritizes abortion above all else. Any form of government money to Planned Parenthood only serves to support its advocacy and provision of abortion.

[57] Title X provides the Secretary of Health and Human Services wide latitude in interpreting the Act through issuing regulations. While the Act clearly prohibits its funds to be used in programs where abortion is a method of family planning, presidential administrations have interpreted this requirement in varying ways. During the Reagan administration, regulations were issued on Title X that were designed to ensure the physical and financial separation of abortion facilities from those receiving Title X grants. The Reagan regulations further barred Title X grantees from engaging in such practices as counseling, referring for, or promoting abortion as a method of family planning. The Supreme Court upheld the regulations in 1991 in Rust v. Sullivan (500 U.S. 173). Under the Clinton administration, Title X regulations were revised to specify for the first time that Title X recipients must refer for abortion. Under the Trump administration’s first term, on February 22, 2019, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) once again revised Title X regulations to solidify the original, intended bright-line rule of separation of abortion from federally funded family planning efforts. This revision was known as the Protect Life Rule. In 2021, the Biden administration reversed the Protect Life Rule. As of March 2025, the Trump administration has not yet restored the Protect Life Rule.

[168] According to the CDC, abortions at 9 weeks or earlier account for 78.6% of U.S. abortions, abortions at 10-13 weeks account for 14.2%, abortions at 14-17 weeks account for 4.6%, and abortions at 18 weeks or later account for 2.6%. These percentages were applied to Planned Parenthood’s abortion total to produce an estimate of the number of abortions Planned Parenthood performs at different gestational ages. Abortions at 9 weeks or earlier were assigned the price point of $580 (the average cost of a medical abortion at Planned Parenthood), 10-13 weeks were considered to be $600 (the cost of a first trimester surgical abortion), 14-17 weeks were $715 (the cost of a surgical abortion early in the second trimester), and abortions at 18+ weeks were assigned $1500 (the lower range of the cost of an abortion later in the second trimester).
