RAD’s mission is to promote the continued existence and resiliency of the U.S. abortion delivery sector so that abortion seekers have timely and equitable access to quality abortion care. RAD is driven by a commitment to support the U.S. abortion delivery sector in meeting the needs of abortion seekers, ensuring timely and equitable access to quality abortion care.

With a dedicated team of 13 staff members, RAD connects independent abortion providers nationwide with essential funding, resources, and sector expertise, helping them navigate and adapt to a complex and rapidly evolving environment. While RAD’s primary role is as a funding intermediary, it also facilitates a range of initiatives that directly enhance the capabilities of providers and the sector. As a grantmaker, RAD leverages its deep knowledge of the abortion landscape to deploy strategic funder investments and respond to pressing challenges in the field. Through an array of programming, RAD provides expertise, support, and valuable guidance to both grantees and funders, sharing information, research, and customized technical assistance.

Since its inception, RAD has facilitated over $74 million in support to enhance patient access and bridge the gap between independent abortion delivery and funding. RAD seeks an Executive Director who will guide it into its next phase of growth, ensuring that its strategic priorities align with the sector's evolving needs and commitment to equity and justice.

The Executive Director will be pivotal in leading RAD's strategic vision and operational excellence.

ORGANIZATIONAL OVERVIEW

Driven by a commitment to support the U.S. abortion delivery sector in meeting the needs of abortion seekers, RAD focuses on enhancing timely and equitable access to quality abortion care, with a particular emphasis on independent providers who face significant challenges in a complex and rapidly evolving landscape.

As a nonprofit organization with a dedicated team of 12 staff members and an organizational budget averaging around $8 million annually for core programmatic and operational expenses, RAD serves as a crucial funding intermediary while also advancing several key initiatives that directly impact the abortion delivery sector. The ED will oversee RAD’s efforts to connect independent abortion providers with essential funding, resources, and support, leveraging sector expertise to effectively mobilize and deploy resources. RAD offers grantmaking services for charitable donors looking to give direct, tangible support to abortion providers meeting critical community needs. RAD is unique in its knowledge of independent abortion providers, its ability to pool and distribute donor funds, and its capacity to provide charitable dollars to privately owned, taxable entities that make up approximately 70% of the independent abortion provider sector. RAD makes individual loans and grants to both taxable and tax-exempt abortion providers, ensuring that all funding awards comply with IRS rules for charitable support. RAD also collaborates strategically with charitable donors to address both emergent and longer-term sector needs, offering informational resources and convening spaces for foundation donors to learn about the abortion delivery sector and engage with peers.

Over its first five years, RAD has successfully provided over $60 million in grants and loans, along with $350,000 in free technical and capacity-building support. Further, it has facilitated more than 2,000 hours of free legal compliance assistance through its Regulatory Assistance for Abortion Provider (RAAP) program, which is sunsetting at the end of the year. RAD also established The Access Fund (TAF), a now-sunsetting initiative that provided no-cost abortions for low-income individuals from states with abortion bans. RAD has engaged over 30 foundations through convenings and briefings and has facilitated more than $74 million in support to date, significantly enhancing patient access and bridging gaps between independent abortion delivery and funding sources.

Organization Description

The California Pan-Ethnic Health Network (CPEHN) envisions a world in which all communities regardless of their income, sex, race, ethnicity, primary language, LGBTQ+ status, disability or immigration status, have the opportunity to live with optimal physical, behavioral, oral, and overall health and well-being, and to thrive. In this world, all patients are treated with the same level of dignity and respect, allowing everyone to achieve the best possible health outcomes.

Our mission is to bring together and mobilize communities of color to advocate for public policies that advance health equity and improve health outcomes in our communities.

As a multi-ethnic network representing organizations serving millions of Californians, CPEHN brings together and builds power in diverse communities of color. As a network, CPEHN is the collective voice for racial justice, health equity and health care system reform.

We have four main approaches to how we do our work:
• Policy Advocacy. We advocate for federal, state and local policies that advance health equity.
• Network Building. Everything we do is done in collaboration with our nonprofit and grassroots partners.
• Policy Research. Our research focuses on studying and understanding disparities in health access, utilization and outcomes by race, ethnicity, language, disability status, sexual orientation, gender identity, and immigration status.
• Storytelling helps us sustain attention, build trust and inspire action in and on behalf of our communities.

OUR CULTURE
Equity isn’t just a buzzword for us – it’s the bedrock of our culture, shaping everything from our hiring practices to our transparent salaries and unwavering commitment to staff development. That bedrock is supported by our commitment to work-life balance through things like our monthly "Slow Fridays" that make it easier to take time off, weekly doses of "Fun Time" to break up the grind, annual "Fun Days" that are exactly what they sound like, and a hybrid work schedule that lets you blend the best of both worlds. At our core, we're crafting a community where everyone can thrive.
