Male Contraceptive Initiative

Male Contraceptive Initiative

We’re a 501(c)3 nonprofit organized around providing a choice-maximized, inclusive contraceptive world. Come see what the future will be!

MCI was founded in 2014 to build and highlight demand for new reversible male contraceptives. We fund promising research to support their development, educate the public, and act as a hub for contraceptive research. Support equality in contraception with us!
