Description
Arnold Ventures is a philanthropy whose core objective is to
maximize opportunity and minimize injustice. We are dedicated to
tackling some of the most pressing problems in the United States.
We invest in sustainable change, building it from the ground up
based on research, deep thinking, and a strong foundation of
evidence. We drive public conversation, craft policy, and inspire
action through education and advocacy. Position
OverviewContraception is a vital tool for health, economic
opportunity, freedom, and justice - which is why broad, bipartisan
majorities of Americans support robust access to contraception.
However, the reality of access to contraception falls far short.
Today, 21 million people require public support to access and
afford contraceptive care, while 19 million low-income women live
in "contraceptive deserts" where there is an insufficient supply of
providers offering access to a full range of contraceptive
methods.
Arnold Ventures works to close these gaps by researching,
developing, and advocating on a nonpartisan and evidence-based
basis for policies that ensure that everyone in this country can
access and afford the method of contraception that is right for
them. We focus on policies that address practical barriers that
impede access - for example, by integrating more high-quality
family planning support into primary care, and supporting
innovative approaches that make access easier such as
over-the-counter oral contraception, pharmacist-prescribed birth
control, and telemedicine. We also work to strengthen policies that
make contraception affordable - such as expanding and strengthening
coverage for family planning programs, and supporting funding for
essential safety net programs like Title X.
