Kate's Emergency Title X Response Campaign

I'm proud to serve on the board of Missouri Family Health Council, which provides funding and support for reproductive healthcare clinics across our state. Due to an unexpected and devastating federal funding freeze, these clinics, and the patients they serve, are in jeopardy. I’ve committed to raising $300 from my personal network to help MFHC keep their doors open.

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. 

Clinics are preparing to close their doors. We have a short window to keep them open. We can do it – but only together. If you’ve been waiting for the right time to act, it’s now.

Please join me in giving to Missouri Family Health Council and keeping sexual and reproductive healthcare accessible to all Missourians!
