Alison's Emergency Title X Response Campaign

On April 1, Missouri Family Health Council’s federal Title X funding was suddenly and indefinitely frozen by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, and in the meantime, our network of health centers was left hanging in the balance. If Title X funds are not reinstated immediately, clinics across Missouri will be forced to lay off staff, scale back services, or shut down entirely. Tens of thousands of Missourians will be denied life-saving care. This is not theoretical – this is happening now. And this crisis is compounded by the fact that Title X is often the only healthcare touchpoint for our patients. Six in ten women who access contraceptive care at Title X clinics say it’s their only provider. 

With more than $5 million in funding withheld, we're doing everything we can to keep clinics open and healthcare accessible. From national funders to corporations to individuals donors, everyone has a part to play. When people at every level show up, we build something stronger and more sustainable. Your gift – whatever the size – moves this forward and signals that we deserve better than a broken safety net. 

I'm committing to raise a portion of our goal through personal outreach and I'm hoping you'll join me. If you'd consider meeting up for a coffee or lunch, would you also consider spending $25 or $50 today to keep care accessible for all Missourians?
