OUR U.S. RESEARCHERS PRODUCED MONTHLY ESTIMATES OF CLINICIAN-PROVIDED ABORTIONS AT THE STATE AND NATIONAL LEVELS. THIS WIDELY CITED STUDY DOCUMENTED-IN CLOSE TO REAL-TIME-HOW BANS AND RESTRICTIONS IMPACTED INDIVIDUALS SEEKING ABORTIONS, INCLUDING BY ILLUMINATING EMERGING PATTERNS OF INTERSTATE TRAVEL TO ACCESS CARE. GUTTMACHER SCIENTISTS ALSO PUBLISHED FIRST-EVER STATE-LEVEL DATA ON MEDICATION ABORTION, WHICH UNDERSCORED THE IMPORTANCE OF ABORTION PILLS IN MEETING PEOPLE'S NEEDS AT A TIME WHEN THEY WERE THE TARGET OF LEGAL, REGULATORY, AND POLICY CHALLENGES. IN 2025, WE ALSO PUBLISHED EVIDENCE AND ANALYSIS ON PUBLICLY-FUNDED CONTRACEPTIVE SERVICES IN THE U.S. THIS INCLUDED EXPERT TESTIMONY IN A LEGAL CHALLENGE TO THE FEDERAL ADMINISTRATION'S ATTEMPT TO "DEFUND" PLANNED PARENTHOOD, UNDERSCORING THE IRREPLACEABLE ROLE THE ORGANIZATION PLAYS IN PROVIDING FAMILY PLANNING AND RELATED SERVICES TO PATIENTS WHO RELY ON MEDICAID. OUR INTERNATIONAL RESEARCH PORTFOLIO-DEVELOPED WITH PARTNERS FROM ACROSS THE WORLD-EXAMINED ACCESS TO AND QUALITY OF SEXUAL AND REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH (SRH) SERVICES IN A TIME OF GLOBAL CRISIS. WE LAUNCHED THE NEWEST ROUND OF OUR ADDING IT UP PROJECT, WHICH ESTIMATES THE NEED FOR ESSENTIAL SRH SERVICES ACROSS 128 COUNTRIES AND QUANTIFIES THE WIDE-RANGING HEALTH BENEFITS AND FINANCIAL COSTS OF MEETING THOSE NEEDS. RESEARCH FROM THE UNINTENDED PREGNANCY AND ABORTION WORLDWIDE STUDY-COVERING 150 COUNTRIES-FOUND THAT GENDER INEQUALITY WAS STRONGLY CORRELATED WITH THE INCIDENCE OF UNINTENDED PREGNANCY AMONG WOMEN WANTING TO AVOID PREGNANCY, AN INSIGHT THAT HELD TRUE EVEN AFTER CONTROLLING FOR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. OUR SCIENTISTS ALSO PUBLISHED FINDINGS FROM A RANGE OF IN-DEPTH COUNTRY-LEVEL STUDIES CARRIED OUT WITH NATIONAL PARTNERS-FOR EXAMPLE, IN BANGLADESH, WE FILLED A GAP IN EVIDENCE ON THE CONTRACEPTIVE NEEDS OF REFUGEE WOMEN AND GIRLS, AND IN KENYA WE DOCUMENTED A HIGH PREVALENCE OF INDUCED AND UNSAFE ABORTIONS WHILE CHALLENGING STEREOTYPES ABOUT WHO OBTAINS ABORTIONS. THROUGH OUR EQUITABLE PARTNERSHIP INITIATIVE, WE CONTINUED TO STRENGTHEN THE CAPACITY OF RESEARCHERS AND JOURNALISTS WITHIN A NETWORK OF PARTNERS IN SUB-SAHARAN AFRICA. FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4B COMMUNICATIONS & PUBLICATIONS (C&P) THE INSTITUTE SHAPED AND INFORMED PUBLIC DEBATE THROUGHOUT THE YEAR, GENERATING SIGNIFICANT COVERAGE IN MAJOR MEDIA OUTLETS, AND GARNERING NUMEROUS CITATIONS OF OUR WORK BY ADVOCATES, POLICYMAKERS AND PARTNERS. TWO PRIORITIES ANCHORED OUR US COMMUNICATIONS WORK: DOCUMENTING THE ONGOING HARM CAUSED BY THE SUPREME COURT'S 2022 DOBBS DECISION, AND COMBATTING MIS- AND DISINFORMATION, INCLUDING AROUND THE ABORTION MEDICATION MIFEPRISTONE. OUR MONTHLY ABORTION PROVISION STUDY REMAINED A PILLAR SUPPORTING BOTH OF THESE STREAMS OF WORK, SERVING AS A WIDELY USED RESOURCE FOR UNDERSTANDING HOW DOBBS RESHAPED ABORTION ACCESS ACROSS THE COUNTRY, AND AS A SOURCE FOR UP-TO-THE-MOMENT EVIDENCE USED TO CENTER THE FACTS (AND DEBUNK FALSE CLAIMS) ABOUT ABORTION. GLOBALLY, WE UTILIZED OUR "JUST THE NUMBERS" SERIES TO DOCUMENT THE IMPACT OF DRASTIC CUTS TO THE US INTERNATIONAL FAMILY PLANNING PROGRAM - INCLUDING A REAL-TIME COUNTER TRACKING THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE DENIED CONTRACEPTIVE ACCESS. WE ALSO ANALYZED THE DOWNSTREAM EFFECTS OF CUTS TO DEVELOPMENT AID FUNDING BY OTHER DONOR GOVERNMENTS. IN NOVEMBER AT THE INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON FAMILY PLANNING, WE REACHED A LARGE AND INFLUENTIAL GLOBAL AUDIENCE THROUGH THE LAUNCH OF TWO MAJOR RESOURCES FOR ADVOCATES: THE UPDATED ADDING IT UP ANALYSIS AND FP IMPACT, A COLLABORATIVE STUDY ON FAMILY PLANNING'S IMPACT ON EDUCATION AND ECONOMIC OUTCOMES. OUR MEDIA RELATIONS CONTINUED TO DELIVER SIGNIFICANT IMPACT IN 2025, RESULTING IN OVER 13,000 MEDIA MENTIONS OF THE INSTITUTE AND OUR EXPERTS. BEHIND THIS SUCCESS WERE THE 106 NEWS RELEASES WE DISTRIBUTED TO OUR PRESS LISTS-ALONG WITH NUMEROUS INDIVIDUAL AND TAILORED PITCHES-AND RESPONSES TO ABOUT 400 MEDIA REQUESTS. SOCIAL MEDIA REMAINED A KEY DRIVER OF AUDIENCE ENGAGEMENT, VISIBILITY AND INFLUENCE. OUR AUDIENCE GREW TO MORE THAN 122,000 FOLLOWERS ACROSS EIGHT PLATFORMS. CROSS-PLATFORM ENGAGEMENT REACHED 4.3%-UP 35% FROM 2024 AND WELL ABOVE SECTOR BENCHMARKS-INDICATING THAT OUR CONTENT RESONATED STRONGLY WITH OUR EXPANDING AUDIENCE. OUR WEBSITE RECEIVED MORE THAN 1.3 MILLION PAGEVIEWS IN 2025, AND OUR VERIFIED EMAIL OPEN RATE HELD ABOVE 26%, EXCEEDING NONPROFIT BENCHMARKS AND REFLECTING STRONG SUBSCRIBER ENGAGEMENT.

OUR US POLICY TEAM CLOSELY TRACKED STATE AND FEDERAL POLICIES AND OFFERED INCISIVE ANALYSES AND RESOURCES TO MAKE SENSE OF A FAST-CHANGING LANDSCAPE, PROVIDING TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE TO NUMEROUS STATE AND FEDERAL LAWMAKERS AND PARTNERS. WE CONTINUOUSLY REFINED OUR POPULAR INTERACTIVE MAP OF STATE LAWS TO REFLECT REAL-TIME POLICY CHANGES AND NEW POLICY INNOVATIONS, AND OUR POLICY EXPERTS WERE CITED WIDELY IN PROMINENT MEDIA OUTLETS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. AS THE INSTITUTE RELEASED DYNAMIC AND TIMELY NEW DATA, OUR POLICY DIVISION WORKED TO INTEGRATE THE DATA INTO THE BROADER WORK OF THE REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH, RIGHTS AND JUSTICE FIELD THROUGH COLLABORATIONS, WEBINARS, LAWMAKER BRIEFINGS, AND REPORTS. THROUGH OUR POLICY INNOVATION HUB, WE CONVENED AND SUPPORTED A NETWORK OF PARTNERS ACROSS THE COUNTRY TO GRAPPLE WITH THE INTERPLAY OF STATE AND FEDERAL LEGAL AND POLICY CHANGES AND RELEASED NEW RESOURCES TO EXPLAIN COMPLICATED POLICY REALITIES. GLOBALLY, WE WORKED TO CENTER THE GUTTMACHER-LANCET COMMISSION'S INCLUSIVE VISION FOR SEXUAL AND REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH AND RIGHTS IN KEY FORUMS. THROUGH A MIX OF HIGH-LEVEL EVENTS AND CLOSED-DOOR STRATEGIC BRIEFINGS, WE EQUIPPED GOVERNMENT LEADERS, UN STAFF, AND ADVOCACY PARTNERS WITH TIMELY EVIDENCE AND POLICY RECOMMENDATIONS. GUTTMACHER SUPPORTED A DELEGATION OF US EXPERTS IN SUBMITTING A REPORT ON THE US REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS LANDSCAPE TO THE UN, CONTRIBUTED TO A POSITION PAPER FOR THE 2025 UN HIGH LEVEL POLITICAL FORUM, AND HOSTED BRIEFINGS AT MAJOR GLOBAL CONVENINGS TO CONNECT GUTTMACHER EVIDENCE WITH DECISION-MAKERS WORLDWIDE.

THESE INDIVIDUALS EXERCISE SUBSTANTIAL INFLUENCE OVER THE AFFAIRS OF THE INSTITUTE AND ARE, AS SUCH, DISQUALIFIED PERSONS WITHIN THE MEANING OF SECTION 4958(F)(1) OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE. THE EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE'S PRIMARY PURPOSE IS TO ENSURE THAT EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION PACKAGES REPRESENT REASONABLE REMUNERATION FOR THE SERVICES PREFORMED AND TO ENSURE COMPLIANCE WITH ALL APPLICABLE FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL LAWS. PRIOR TO THE NOVEMBER BOARD MEETING, THE COMMITTEE REVIEWS COMPENSATION FOR SENIOR EXECUTIVES AT COMPARABLE NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS, WITH STAFFING LEVELS AND BUDGETS ON PAR WITH THOSE OF THE INSTITUTE, AND WHICH CONDUCT ACTIVITIES SIMILAR IN SCOPE AND PURPOSE TO THOSE OF THE INSTITUTE, IN ORDER TO BENCHMARK OUR COMPENSATION PRACTICES FOR OFFICERS. THE COMMITTEE MAY ALSO REVIEW SURVEYS COMPILED BY INDEPENDENT FIRMS AND OTHER ORGANIZATIONS' PUBLIC DOCUMENTATION OF SALARY PRACTICES. THE COMMITTEE REPORTS ITS COMPENSATION DETERMINATIONS ANNUALLY TO THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE. THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE AND THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS MUST APPROVE THE CEO COMPENSATION PACKAGE AND BE INFORMED OF THE COMPENSATION OF THE OTHER OFFICERS.
