How to Follow or Support the Guttmacher Institute's Work

Updated

You can follow the Guttmacher Institute by subscribing to its research and policy updates, browsing its reports, articles and fact sheets, and following its social media; you can support it by donating through the site. These options appear on the institute's homepage, and the subscription and donation links are the two direct ways to stay connected or contribute. The site does not state whether subscribing or donating requires an account or payment beyond what the linked pages describe, so check those pages for details.

Subscribe to research and policy updates

The homepage includes a Subscribe option described as a way to "Sign up to receive our research and policy updates." This is the most direct way to get new material delivered rather than checking the site manually.

  • Input: your email address (the sign-up form itself is not shown in the available page content).
  • Action: complete the subscription sign-up linked from the homepage.
  • Expected result: you receive the institute's research and policy updates.
  • Common snag: the exact fields, frequency and any confirmation steps are not described in the page evidence, so review the sign-up page before submitting.

Browse highlights, reports, articles and fact sheets

The homepage organizes content under Highlights, Reports, Articles and Fact Sheets, plus a Search function. This structure lets you follow the institute's output by topic or format without subscribing.

Section What you'll find there Good for
Highlights Featured items such as the 2026 abortion rights ballot measures in Idaho, Nevada, Virginia and Missouri A quick view of current priorities
Reports Global and US research and policy reports, e.g., Adding It Up 2024 In-depth research
Articles Research articles and opinion pieces, e.g., cost savings of task-sharing in family planning across 128 low- and middle-income countries Analysis and commentary
Fact Sheets Topical briefs, e.g., countering false narratives about abortion and attacks on immigrants' access to care Quick reference
Search Site-wide search Finding a specific study or state policy

The homepage also links to dedicated Global, US and State Policy work areas, including the Monthly Abortion Provision Study and the Interactive Map: US Abortion Policies and Access After Roe.

Donate to support the work

The homepage carries a Donate Now call to action framed as "Reproductive rights are under attack. Help us fight back with facts." Donating is the site's stated way to support its research and policy work financially.

  • Input: whatever the donation page requests (not detailed in the available content).
  • Action: use the Donate Now link from the homepage.
  • Expected result: your contribution supports the institute's research and policy mission.
  • Common snag: amounts, payment methods and any tax details are not specified in the page evidence, so confirm them on the donation page.

Follow updates, including social media

The homepage includes a "Latest from Instagram" section, indicating the institute shares updates via social media. Following that account is a low-effort way to see new material as it is posted. The page evidence shows only the Instagram feed; check the site footer or contact page for any other channels.

A practical way to combine these

If you want to track a specific issue, start with Search or the State Policy interactive map, then Subscribe so new reports and fact sheets reach you. If you want to support the work rather than just follow it, use Donate Now. For a quick sense of current priorities, scan Highlights first — for example, the 2026 ballot-measure coverage and the Adding It Up 2024 report are both featured there.
