Mission

PROTECTING THE DIGNITY, EQUALITY AND REPRODUCTIVE FREEDOM OF INDIVIDUALS IN WYOMING AND THE SURROUNDING REGION BY ENABLING ACCESS TO ABORTION AND CONTRACEPTIVE CARE THROUGH FINANCIAL SUPPORT, EDUCATION AND ADVOCACY.

  • CHELSEAS FUND PROVIDES FUNDING ASSISTANCE TO ENABLE ACCESS TO ABORTION SERVICES. THE LARGE PORTION OF OUR ABORTION FUNDING COVERS CLINIC FEES FOR DIRECT ABORTION SERVICES. WE MAKE THOSE PAYMENTS DIRECTLY TO THE CLINIC, HAVING APPROVED THEM AHEAD OF TIME AND PAYING AFTER SERVICES ARE PROVIDED. IN 2024, THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE WE ASSISTED INCREASED SIGNIFICANTLY TO 385. WE SUPPORT WYOMING & IDAHO RESIDENTS REGARDLESS OF WHERE THEY RECEIVE CARE. ADDITIONALLY ANYONE RECEIVING ABORTION CARE IN WYOMING MAY BE ELIGIBLE FOR OUR ASSISTANCE. IN ADDITION TO FUNDING CLINIC COSTS, WE PROVIDE SOME FUNDING FOR ASSOCIATED COSTS SUCH AS TRAVEL, HOTEL, CHILD CARE AS NEEDED AND APPROPRIATELY DOCUMENTED.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all.

Auto-Revocation List

  • Exemption revoked 15 November 2010.

Publication 78

Listed as of 13 October 2026, under deductibility PC.

These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.
