Why Donate?

Help Her Plan Through Sustainable Monthly Giving

"You are a strong woman with a strong mind. You have the power to take control of your life and your choices. Think about what you want and what you need, to be healthy and happy."

These are words that resonate in every ASAF training and program. Putting together a Plan is a great way to get to know yourself better and make the best choices for the life you want. 
 

Our iPlan, Her Plan, Your Plan Giving Program allows you to help women create their own life plan. This monthly giving program isn’t just easier for you, it also helps us to continue providing services for women well into the future.

Our dream is for all women to have the opportunity to pursue an education, move ahead in their careers, help their families get ahead, and be able to plan the lives they want to lead. Your support empowers women with knowledge and access to long-term, reversible birth control, and eliminates the cost barrier – allowing each woman to make her own decision about if and when she wants to become pregnant.
 

The impact of your gift will be felt year-round, and can be made at any amount that is meaningful to you. This donation is tax-deductible to the fullest extent of the law.
 

Not sure where to start? Below are examples of the type of impact you’ll make:
 

• $10 each month covers a new patient's clinic visit.
• $25 each month covers the cost of a clinic visit and non-hormonal IUD placement. 
• $40 each month covers the cost of a clinic visit and Implant placement. 
• $50 each month covers the cost of a clinic visit and one hormonal IUD that provides a woman five years of reliable birth control. (Yes, five years of protection!)
• $100 each month covers the cost of a 12 new patient well-woman exams.

With your help, A Step Ahead Foundation is lowering the teen and unintended pregnancy rates in Shelby County. Every day, you make it possible for us to be out in the community sharing the importance of having a life plan and how to access highly-effective methods of birth control for free.

The stats are impressive. 48.3% - That is the overall number of reductions in teen pregnancy in Shelby County since A Step Ahead Foundation’s founding. 32.1% - That's how much the overall abortion rate in Shelby County has fallen in the same time period.
