Match Group—Match Group founder Sam Yagan pledged personal donation matching for employee abortion-access travel after Dobbs ruling
Following the June 24, 2022 Supreme Court Dobbs v. Jackson decision overturning Roe v. Wade, Match Group and its founder Sam Yagan announced employee travel reimbursement for abortion access in states where the procedure had become restricted, and Yagan publicly pledged personal matching for employee donations to reproductive-rights legal funds. Match Group was among the early-day Dobbs-response tech employers; CEO Bernard Kim subsequently maintained the policy through 2024-25 political pressure.
