Our mission is to advance reproductive and maternal health equity by intentionally leveraging capital to center the needs, experiences, and perspectives of historically marginalized people in decision-making. The multibillion-dollar reproductive and maternal health market has tremendous potential for public health impact, but it has been built on flawed systems that perpetuate unjust outcomes for women of color, low-income women, and others directly affected by systemic inequities. Our work is to transform this market. Operating in a novel impact space, we seek opportunities to move investment toward reproductive and maternal health in a way that does not perpetuate harm and that will yield measurable, sustainable improvements in health outcomes. Our activities include impact investment to stimulate innovation and equity in women’s health, ecosystem building to support entrepreneurs and investors incorporating health equity into business strategy, narrative change to shift harmful social norms that influence the market, and corporate advocacy to promote corporate responsibility and improve public policy regarding reproductive and maternal health.
