What is PPAFD?

Did you know that there are two Planned Parenthood’s in Delaware?? There is Planned Parenthood of Delaware which offers medical services and sexual and health education. And, there is the Planned Parenthood Advocacy Fund of Delaware (PPAFD) which is incorporated as a 501c4 under the IRS code. The organizations are separate but work as partners for women’s reproductive health care.

The goal of PPAFD is to promote legislation that furthers Planned Parenthood's Public Policy Agenda,* educate the citizens of Delaware about the views of elected officials and candidates for office, and elect supporters of reproductive rights to office. The Advocacy Fund is non-partisan.

*The foundation for the Planned Parenthood policy agenda is three ideas:

• Equal Access to All Forms of Sexual and Reproductive Health Care - Regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, income, religion, age, citizenship, geographic location or physical challenges.
• Equal Access to Comprehensive, Age-appropriate, Research-based Sex Education - Including encouragement of a healthy dialogue between parents/caregivers and young people.
• Equal Treatment with Dignity and Respect - It is the obligation of medical providers, including doctors and pharmacists, to provide the most comprehensive medical information available and respect patient confidentiality.
