Step-by-Step: How to Find an Abortion Clinic and Get Help with Costs
-
Because abortion is not available in Tennessee, the first step is to locate a clinic in a nearby state. ACT partners with a network of trusted abortion clinics that regularly provide care to people traveling from Tennessee. These clinics are experienced, affirming, and understand the unique challenges faced by Tennesseans.
We work with the following clinics:
Hope Clinic in Granite City, IL
CHOICES in Carbondale, IL
DuPont Clinic in Washington, DC
Whole Woman’s Health in Maryland and North Carolina
Alamo Women’s Clinic in Illinois
Hallmark Women’s Clinic in North Carolina
Allegheny Reproductive Health Center in Pennsylvania
VCU Health in Virginia
Bristol Women’s Health in Illinois
Your clinic choice may depend on how far you're able to travel, how far along you are in your pregnancy, or other personal needs. Most abortion clinics list appointment options and contact details on their websites, and many have staff ready to walk you through next steps.
-
Once you’ve identified an abortion clinic, the next step is to make an appointment. You will need to have a confirmed appointment before asking about funding options. Most abortion clinics allow you to book by phone or online, which you can find addresses, phone numbers and links to websites in the above map feature.
If you're not sure which clinic is best for you, call one directly—they are used to working with out-of-state patients and can help you figure out what makes the most sense based on your timeline and travel ability.
-
Once your appointment is scheduled, tell the clinic that you are a Tennessee resident and ask whether they have funding from Abortion Care Tennessee.
ACT provides grant funding directly to clinics to help lower the cost of abortion care for people from Tennessee. There is no application, no income requirement, and no paperwork needed from you. If the clinic receives funding from ACT, they can apply it to your appointment automatically—just ask for it.
We believe that accessing abortion should not require you to jump through hoops. You do not need to prove your need or meet any conditions to receive our support. If you're from Tennessee and getting care at a clinic we work with, you're eligible.
More About Funding
The exact funding amount is up to the discretion of the clinic. ACT recommends an amount per patient, but the clinic ultimately decides based on your financial situation and available resources.
Right now, funding can be used to help cover the procedure itself. We are actively working to expand our support to include other expenses like travel, lodging, childcare, and more.
ACT does not give money directly to patients. The fastest way to get financial support is by contacting the clinic where you have an appointment. We’re here, in the background, making sure funding exists and fighting for more every day.
-
While ACT funding can significantly reduce the cost of your appointment, it may not always cover the full amount—especially for later procedures or out-of-pocket travel expenses. Clinics may be able to connect you with additional abortion funds that can help fill the gap. Be honest with your clinic about what you’re able to afford, and always ask about other support options.
Ask the clinic if they work with other abortion funds or contact the National Abortion Federation Hotline for additional funding options.

FAQs

No. Abortion is completely banned in Tennessee. There are no legal exceptions for rape, incest, or sexual assault. The only legal exception is for life endangerment, but it is so vague and restrictive that it rarely protects patients or allows doctors to act quickly. People seeking abortion care must travel out of state.
-
You’ll need to travel to another state. Start by identifying the nearest out-of-state clinic that provides abortion care. ACT partners with a network of trusted clinics in nearby states—including Illinois, Indiana, North Carolina, Maryland, and Washington, D.C.—that regularly see patients from Tennessee. These clinics are used to working with out-of-state patients and can help guide you through the process.
