We fund the research and development of new non-hormonal, reversible male contraceptives.

At Male Contraceptive Initiative, we believe that new ideas can come to fruition in myriad ways. We support scientists, students, and researchers across the globe, working in academia, private industry, and nonprofits.

Our funding portfolio of long and short term investments in the field accelerate the development of contraceptives like devices that can last for years, on-demand contraceptives, or daily pills. Other areas of investment include moonshot projects and early career support for young investigators.
