Grants to this Grantee
for support of a global abortion incidence study
This grant to the Guttmacher Institute will support its flagship study, Abortion Worldwide, a collaboration with the World Health Organization, which generates model-based estimates of the incidence and safety of abortion at global, regional, subregional, and country levels, playing a critical role in informing decisions around improving and expanding access to safe abortion services. With our funding, Guttmacher will produce novel analysis of reproductive autonomy to examine disparities in women’s ability to prevent unintended births when they so desire, by age and urban-rural classification using a new measure called “conditional unintended pregnancy rate.” This grant is aligned with the Global Reproductive Equity strategy. (Strategy: Global Reproductive Equity)
for general operating support
Working in the United States and globally, the Guttmacher Institute seeks to advance sexual and reproductive health and rights by combining original research, policy analysis and advocacy, communications strategies to shape the public discourse, and capacity-strengthening activities that maximize the reach and impact of partners’ research and advocacy efforts. (Strategies: U.S. Reproductive Equity and Global Reproductive Equity)
for support of culture change and racial equity
This organizational effectiveness grant will support Guttmacher Institute to deepen its internal culture change and racial equity work during a period of organizational transformation under a diverse new leadership team and an evolving staffing structure. Specifically, the funding will allow Guttmacher to invest in racial equity and inclusive organization trainings and multi-level leadership development and coaching to ensure learning is embedded and sustained in its internal practices. Combined, these institutional strengthening efforts aim to bolster Guttmacher's critical leadership in national and global SRHR ecosystems.
