Planned Parenthood Federation of America announced today that MacKenzie Scott has donated an unprecedented $275 million to its national office and 21 Planned Parenthood affiliates. This represents the largest gift from a single donor in Planned Parenthood’s history. Planned Parenthood is a trusted provider of equitable sexual and reproductive health services whose network of more than 600 health centers reaches deep into communities across the country.
This generous gift also comes at a time when access to sexual and reproductive health care is under attack like never before, especially access to abortion.
Statement from Alexis McGill Johnson, president and CEO, PPFA:
“We are incredibly grateful for Ms. Scott’s extraordinary philanthropic investment in Planned Parenthood, as a critical part of the public health infrastructure. There is no question that we are living through a crisis for sexual and reproductive health and rights in this country. As we face the most serious attacks on access to reproductive health care that we’ve seen in a generation, we know this moment requires us to be innovative and to double down on our efforts to ensure everyone has equitable access to health care, including abortion.
