A single investment can refract into a spectrum of impact.

More education

Delayed childbearing increases the likelihood that a young woman completes her secondary education by almost 100%.

Stronger economies

Countries with broad access to reproductive healthcare see an average 20% increase in per capita incomes.

A resilient climate

Providing every family with access to the reproductive healthcare they want and need could avert as much CO2 emissions as switching to solar or wind.

Improved health

Countries with strong contraceptive use have 50% lower maternal and child mortality rates.

Greater security

Expanding contraceptive access helps stabilize population growth, easing pressure on social services, infrastructure, and natural resources.

Prysm guides philanthropic leaders to bold, scalable solutions that generate measurable impact beyond reproductive health itself.

Guided by data rather than ideology, our strategic advisory services empower philanthropists to invest in leading organizations, transformative programs, and breakthrough ideas uncovered by our global network of experts.

Local solutions and government support

We’re rooted in the belief that systems are strongest when built in partnership with local leaders to reflect cultural nuances and contexts. To this end, we encourage government financing and capacity building for sustained change.
