MCI & GivingTuesday

GivingTuesday is a movement to create an international day of charitable giving at the beginning of each year’s holiday season. It’s a chance to both highlight and support nonprofits and charities dedicated to making the world a better place. We respectfully request that you consider supporting MCI on this holiday of giving by making a tax-free donation.

As a nonprofit, MCI relies entirely on the generosity of our donors to advance our work towards making “Reproductive Autonomy for All” a reality. Funding for the development of non-hormonal, reversible contraceptive methods targeting sperm is extremely limited. In fact, a majority of funding for contraception research and development comes from public and philanthropic sources:

​This reality means that the progress the field has made in recent years is truly thanks to people like you who support initiatives like ours. In this short video, we share some donor perspectives about what motivates them to support Male Contraceptive Initiative and the field of male birth control research and development:

Together we will make reproductive autonomy for all a reality, and vastly improve the world along the way!
