The Guttmacher Institute is a research and policy NGO that aims to improve sexual health and expand reproductive rights worldwide.[1][2] The organization was started in 1968 and functions as both a research and educational organization.[3][4] It operates mainly in the United States but also focuses on developing countries.[4] Founded as part of Planned Parenthood, the Guttmacher Institute became independent from Planned Parenthood in 2007.
The institute is named after obstetrician-gynecologist and former president of Planned Parenthood Alan F. Guttmacher.[5] The Guttmacher Institute has many sources of funding nationally and internationally.[4] One of its projects is keeping a running list of the reproductive health laws and policies throughout the United States.[4] The former CEO Dr. Herminia Palacio left the Institute in late 2023. The Institute adopted an interim co-leadership model in early 2024, while the Board of Directors searches for permanent leadership. Jonathan Wittenberg and Destiny Lopez are currently interim Co-CEOs. [6]
