Reproductive Health Security Grant

The Illinois Department of Public Health is issuing this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) to support organizations experiencing a security threat due to the provision of reproductive health services, including abortion. The Reproductive Health Security Grant provides funding to eligible reproductive health care facilities in Illinois, that provide reproductive health care services, including abortion and that are determined to be at a high risk of being targeted by unlawful activity (acts of violence, property damage, vandalism, harassment, etc.). Since the decision in Dobbs, Illinois reproductive healthcare facilities that provide abortion have faced physical attacks on their buildings, resulting in criminal prosecutions of those who attacked the clinics. This grant is intended to increase security measures at clinics to help protect against these attacks
