Funders for Reproductive Equity (FRE) fosters a community of grantmakers working to strengthen the effectiveness of philanthropy in supporting sexual and reproductive health, rights, and justice (SRHRJ) in the U.S. and globally. Korwin Consulting is collaborating with FRE’s leadership team to strengthen and sustain the collection, management, and analysis of grantmaking data for its grants database, which serves as a resource for FRE members by expanding knowledge, providing opportunities for collaboration, and deepening analysis about grantmaking trends in the SRHRJ field. Korwin Consulting will also engage with FRE’s members to support their grants database inquiries through user-friendly, actionable data reports. FRE’s programming elevates the perspectives, priorities, and expertise of the people and communities most affected by reproductive inequity and multiple forms of systemic injustice while recognizing bold strategies for building power and making transformative change.

The William and Flora Hewlett Foundation established its Teen Pregnancy Prevention Initiative in order to support two regional foundations — the Central Valley Community Foundation, based in Fresno and working in communities in California’s Central Valley, and the Latino Community Foundation, based in San Francisco, supporting organizations led by and working with Latino communities in the Central Valley and San Francisco Bay Area.
After eight years of funding an array of teen pregnancy prevention efforts in the Bay Area and Central Valley, the Foundation contracted with Korwin Consulting: (1) to conduct a retrospective analysis at the community and program level to identify what, if anything, has changed in the teen pregnancy prevention landscape in the geographies served, and (2) informed by that analysis, to develop a set of questions that sub-grantees can use to measure knowledge, attitude, and practice outcomes of their programs going forward.
