Male Contraceptive Initiative provides funding and advocacy support for the research and development of new methods of non-hormonal, reversible male birth control.

We support researchers all over the world in their work developing the next generation of male contraception. We provide a diverse range of funding options, including grants and direct investment. Additionally, we promote the field of male contraception and provide people with the educational resources necessary to understand how the new male birth control methods will function as well as the positive impact they will have on the world.

Funding

We allocate as much of the capital we raise through our fundraising efforts directly to those researching male contraception. We support young researchers, academic labs, start-ups, and pharmaceutical companies through a robust grant-making practice and equity investments whose return is reinvested into the field.

Advocacy

We have shown that men are interested in male birth control methods, and that women would trust their partners to take contraception. That said, there is a persistent belief that this is not the case. Our advocacy includes sharing potential user perspectives and accurate information about the demand and need for male birth control, policy advocacy to support male contraceptive-adjacent legislation, supporting students in male contraceptive health communication work, and our podcast.
