Male Contraceptive Initiative
MALE CONTRACEPTIVE INITIATIVE's mission is to empower men, and couples, to fully contribute to family planning goals by providing them the resources they need for reproductive autonomy.
What it funded, over time

Does the money reach high-need areas?
Each grant placed by the hardship in its grantee’s ZIP, against the area’s typical level.
Dollar for dollar, its grants (FY17–24) land where the poverty rate runs at 12%, against an area that typically sits at 10%. 75% of its dollars go to grantees based in above-average-need neighborhoods. Most of its grants land in higher-need ZIPs.

Grants abroad, by region: $374k on the FY2024 return
Schedule F, as filed: 4 regions, $368k to organizations and $6k to individuals. The IRS asks for region and purpose, not the recipient, so no country or grantee can be named here.

How this is measured
Where the work is directed
The same grants placed two ways: where each recipient sits, and where its stated purpose sends the money.
About 7% of Male Contraceptive Initiative’s grant dollars are earmarked for a different county than the recipient’s own address.
How this is measured
Who it funds again
Organizations funded in more than one year, against those funded once.
Grantees it renews have grown median revenue +54% since the first grant, against +7% for those funded once.
11 repeat relationships: 2 still active in FY2024, 9 since wound down; 3 grantees were first funded in FY2024 (too recent to call).

How this is measured
12 grantees tracked through their own filings, 2017–2025.
Each grant beside the grantee’s revenue from every source, year by year.
How this is measured
Counted here: distinct organizations funded across 2017 to 2025, not grant rows in a single year, so this will not match the grant count on the cover. 12 of the 30 grantees resolved in that span have returns of their own we could reconcile.
Each grantee is resolved to its own IRS returns. Association, dated; never a causal claim.
