Overview
Many women across the country are not offered or able to obtain the most effective forms of contraception, such as IUDs or implants, when they visit a health care center. This grant would provide unrestricted funds to support Upstream, a project of the New Venture Fund, aimed at developing strategies to increase access to the most effective methods of birth control. Building on the work of the Contraceptive Choice Project at Washington University and the Bixby Center at the University of California, San Francisco, Upstream plans to develop and test a new, enhanced training intervention at a diverse set of health centers and measure its impact in a six-site pilot project.

Grants to this Grantee
for the fund for climate and energy in India
The Fund for Climate and Energy in India, hosted at the New Venture Fund (NVF), is a multi-funder pooled fund to advance clean energy and a green economic recovery in India. In the first year of this grant, NVF, and its technical partner, the Shakti Foundation, will focus on the following three areas: (a) making the Indian power sector cleaner and more reliable, (b) supporting government ambitions to advance electric mobility, and (c) enabling India’s recovery from COVID-19 to be green and robust.

for the Evergreen Collaborative
This grant supports the Evergreen Collaborative, a new initiative to elevate the urgency and positive opportunities of bold climate action. The collaborative’s work will focus initially on policies to drive new public investment and strong regulatory standards that advance climate solutions. This work is informed by the current economic crisis triggered by COVID-19 pandemic, trade wars over oil, and the failure to invest in American infrastructure and a strong social safety net.
