SPIRAL's Give at Home MN Fundraiser

The SPIRAL Collective (Supporting People in Reproduction, Abortion, and Loss) is a full-spectrum reproductive options and support group centering direct abortion care support. With a radical model of care for the community and by the community, SPIRAL provides free and non-judgemental support through a variety of reproductive experiences to clients throughout the Twin Cities, Occupied Dakota Territories.

Our goal is to raise $2,500 during #GiveatHomeMN to support the collective through these following  months of pandemic.

SPIRAL has been busy transitioning into a 501c3 + building a Board! Despite the current situation with COVID-19 and diminishing access to reproductive care and support, SPIRAL is still here. While we are in this time of uncertainty, of learning and adaptive pandemic times, we continue to deeply invest and commit to this work. We do this by strengthening and caring for our infrastructure (Board), our clients in accessing Abortion, and other Reproductive Care. Thank you to our amazing crew of volunteers, community partners, clinics, and supporters!

You too can invest in the care work + resources needed to keep our client direct services flowing strong. Help bridge the gap to supportive abortion and reproductive care in  this challenging landscape. Your donation will allow us to expand our work and better serve our clients. These donations will go towards general operational costs that will directly support our Leadership Circle and Volunteers in their work, reduce access barriers for folks needing reproductive healthcare  and continue to provide adaptive/informed/best practices Covid-19 care kits + protocols.

General support is the backbone of our ability to sustain our grassroots work — it is one of our most critical areas of need, but one of the hardest to fund. Grant makers and funders usually prefer to fund specific projects or programs, rather than general support — and while individual projects or programs are certainly important, we need to be able to cover our day-to-day costs in order to make those projects happen.

Join us in our work of radical community care and organizing by contributing to our fundraiser. Your support will help us with everything from distributing cleaning supplies to funding the time of a transportation volunteer, to maintaining our phone line:

$5 Contribution — Reimburse a Volunteer for a Cloth Mask

With just a $5 contribution, you can cover the costs of a cloth mask and/or wipes for a volunteer.

$15 Contribution — COVID-19 Care Bag for a Transportation Volunteer

$100 Contribution - Fund Supplies for 10 AASK (Abortion Aftercare Support Kits) Bags

Through our AASK program, we're able to provide free aftercare bags to folks who are in the early recovery stages of abortion or miscarriage. Each bag will contain some of the key items needed for self-care immediately after a terminated pregnancy — including not only physical aids like heat-wraps, underwear, and maxi pads, but also emotional aids like journals, pens, and referrals to accessible, compassionate, and non-judgemental community resources. Each kit will also contain a stigma-busting and practical guide to self-support after an abortion or miscarriage.

$300 Contribution -- Cover costs of operating our phone line for one month

This contribution allows us to maintain capacity of our phone line, and therefore, timely service to our clients. Our phone line is one of the primary ways that clients access our services.

$600 Contribution — Cover the monthly stipend for one member of the Leadership Circle.

With a contribution of $600, you can help SPIRAL to provide a member of our Leadership Circle with financial compensation. Our LC has a set max of 40 hours per month of work, and they regularly go over that number as far as 20 hours! While the Collective's ability to compensate these hours is limited, stipends allow us to nourish our leadership until we are able to provide a more appropriate, hourly wage.
