MacArthur Foundation’s grants in the area of Population and Reproductive Health are mainly limited to three countries: India, Mexico and Nigeria. These countries have been chosen because they represent different conditions and are influential within their respective regions. Within each country the Foundation has selected priority states where grantmaking is concentrated. Grants focus on the two priority themes described below.
- Maternal Mortality and Morbidity
- Young People’s Sexual and Reproductive Health
In addition to the above countries, the Foundation also considers supporting projects that are not country-specific under its International Portfolio. Such type of funding is for selected international population and reproductive health organizations whose work stimulates innovations in policy, programs, and services. Selected research projects advancing the program’s themes, especially maternal mortality, are also included. Organizations funded in this portfolio may make substantial contributions to reducing maternal mortality and morbidity and advancing young people’s reproductive health, either by producing and disseminating new concepts and data, or by advocating new or modified policies. Alternatively, they may explore the applicability of lessons from other fields to PRH, or may shape knowledge and practice on PRH topics.
Organizations interested in applying for support should submit a letter of inquiry to the Foundation.
Grants are awarded to organizations that define clear objectives for their work and measures of progress toward those objectives. Typically, MacArthur provides multi-year support. Proposals must clearly relate to the country and thematic priorities of the Population and Reproductive Health area to be considered.
