Toolkit

Thank you for supporting Feminist Women’s Health Center. For over 43 years, Feminist Center has been providing safe, compassionate and affordable abortion and reproductive healthcare to our community in Georgia and across the Southern states. We are a grassroots organization and our work would not be possible without supporters like you. This toolkit has been put together to support your fundraising efforts.

We do a lot–from providing care, to protecting abortion access to sexual health and education programs in Spanish and English we do a lot and you dont have to describe it all in order to communicate the importance of supporting our work! Try this summary below!

About Us: Feminist Women’s Health Center is a reproductive health, rights and justice organization. We provide safe, affordable and compassionate abortion and reproductive healthcare to all who need it without judgment. We are a Black led, locally-based, non-profit organization in Georgia that directly provides reproductive health services, while also protecting and promoting reproductive rights and justice through organizing and advocacy. 

Community Work: Feminist Center is more than a clinic. We are a movement. Over the years we have developed community programs that specifically seek to address the systemic inequities in healthcare and society that affect women, people of color, immigrant families, and people from the trans and LGBQIA+ communities. You can find more about our programs here

Best Practices: As a Black Woman led organization in the South with over 40 years of providing abortion care we have evolved.  We have a broad vision of liberation for freedom centered on reproductive justice. Here are some tips to mirror the language we use. 

  • We refer to ourselves as Feminist Women’s Health Center. You can also refer to us as FWHC or Feminist Center (preferrably after having mentioned our full name at least once before). 
  • We DO NOT refer to ourselves as pro-choice (due to the limited scope of this term; see our history page to learn more) or use choice-centered language. 
  • We DO say pro-abortion or anti-abortion (when referring to our opposition) instead of pro-choice or anti-choice.

We love clean designs! We would not dream of stifling your creativity. This section is simply to offer some design tips that have worked well for us:

  • Have a clear call to action for the flyer/graphic.
  • Keep the text to a minimum and prioritize key information like date, time, call to action, etc. 
  • Emphasize keywords.
  • Use high resolution images and photos. 
  • Use contrast: High contrast visuals are easy to see at a glance and attention grabbing. 
  • Use colors and fonts sparingly yet effectively:
    • Avoid using more than 2 typefaces. Using multiple font types can make the design look busy. You can opt to play with the font weight (bold/normal/light) and size instead. 
    • Choose the color scheme based on the message. Our official Feminist purple is #402e8F in case you want to incorporate it in your design. Bright colors work well for event collateral. Balance is key. 
  • Canva is a great free tool to create beautiful graphics and designs.

Sample Thank you Email : See below for a template of a thank you email you can send your donors. 

Thank you for joining me to support the important work of  Feminist Women’s Health Center.  Your donation helps provide compassionate abortion care and build our movement for reproductive justice.  

Together, we can continue to fight for abortion rights and access for everyone in Georgia. I am glad you were moved to take action and I hope we can both work to invite more supporters because it is through our collective voices that Feminist Women’s Health Center has endured all the attacks in Georgia.  

In the face of all the uncertainty of these times, Feminist Women’s Health Center is open, accepting patients, and will continue to provide compassionate abortion care to all who need it!  I hope you will also consider hosting your own fundraising event and inviting more people you know to support this work. Wouldn’t that be great?
