The Next 50 Years

Guttmacher Institute
2018 Annual Report

Message from the Board Chair

In 2018, the Guttmacher Institute turned 50.

Our work over the past year stands as validation of the enduring relevance of the Institute’s founding principles and an inspiring portent of where we’re headed in the next 50 years. In 2018, Guttmacher played a critical role in protecting the U.S. family planning safety net, and the Institute joined with other experts on the international stage to present a new vision for sexual and reproductive health and rights worldwide—among a range of other domestic and international accomplishments. In the decades to come, Guttmacher will continue to evolve: to explore new research questions, come up with new ways to advocate sound policy, and ensure that our work and workplace embody our values.

Most importantly, we will continue to pursue the mission that led to the Institute’s founding and remains just as relevant today: to advance sexual and reproductive health and rights by ensuring that policies and programs are based on the best scientific evidence. You will be at the center of all of this. You play a critical role in enabling us to carry out our mission. At a time when so much of what we care about is under threat, your partnership means the world to us.

Thank you.

Sincerely,
Lou Zellner
Chair, Guttmacher Board of Directors

Looking Back
Looking Ahead

Protecting Title X

1968 Our Origins

Guttmacher got its start helping lay the groundwork for the Title X national family planning program. Through the years, our research, policy analyses and federal advocacy have helped ensure the program’s longevity, while helping Title X–supported providers to demonstrate the remarkable impact of their services.

2018 The Fight Ahead

The Trump administration fundamentally undermined Title X by introducing new federal regulations that would gut the nation’s family planning safety net and jeopardize access to high-quality care for the millions of people who turn to Title X each year.

Bold New Agenda for SRHR

The Report

In May 2018, the Guttmacher-Lancet Commission Report on Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) was released. The report introduced a bold new vision for SRHR worldwide—a vision that is comprehensive, rights based, affordable and rooted in the best scientific evidence.

The Challenge

This new vision is essential because—despite recent advances—at some point in their lives, nearly all 4.3 billion people of reproductive age will have inadequate sexual and reproductive health care.
