Reproductive Freedom for All Foundation (National Office)

CharityWatch is unable to provide a letter grade rating of Reproductive Freedom for All Foundation (the Foundation) at this time due to our specific concerns about the charity's financial reporting. For this reason we have assigned it a "?" rating for its 2023 fiscal year based on our analysis of the organization's IRS Tax Form 990 and audited financial statements for that period. Specifically, CharityWatch is concerned that the charity could be including certain fundraising expenses in its reported program expenses. 

CharityWatch contacted the Foundation on March 10, 2025, via U.S. mail with questions about its financial reporting for its fiscal year ended September 30, 2023.

In reference to page 53 of the Foundation's IRS tax Form 990, CharityWatch requested a breakout by vendor reflecting how payments to "A/B Partners PBC" and "Ward Circle Strategies, Inc." were allocated by function and natural classification in 990 Part IX, Statement of Functional Expenses. Furthermore, CharityWatch requested breakouts by function to provide clarification on whether the $2,189,122 and $949,751 of Other Professional Fees (line 11g) and Advertising and Promotion (line 12), respectively, that were allocated to Program expenses consisted of Joint Costs and/or contained any fundraising components. 

As of the date of this note, March 30, 2025, we have not yet received a response. If the Foundation provides an adequate response to the above questions in the future, CharityWatch may update the Foundation's fiscal 2023 rating at that time.

CharityWatch's rating of Reproductive Freedom for all Foundation is for the 501(c)(3) public charity entity (tax ID #52-1100361). CharityWatch provides a separate rating for the related 501(c)(4) tax-exempt, social welfare organization, Reproductive Freedom for All (tax ID #13-2630359).

CharityWatch separates the ratings for 501(c)(3) & 501(c)(4) organizations, even when their financial activities are included together in a consolidated audit, due to their differing treatments under the IRS tax code.
