Direct peers

• Center for Reproductive Rights: The Center for Reproductive Rights is a global legal advocacy organization using litigation and policy to advance reproductive rights. It is highly comparable to the Population Institute in mission (SRHR advocacy), target stakeholders, and reliance on research/coalition tools rather than service delivery.
• SIECUS: Sex Ed for Social Change: SIECUS is a U.S. advocacy organization advancing comprehensive sex education and sexual health policy. Comparable to the Population Institute on the SRHR-advocacy-policy interface and state-level assessment work, including overlapping coverage with the 50-State Report Card.
• Advocates for Youth: Advocates for Youth is a U.S. organization focused on youth sexual health, rights, and justice through advocacy and partnerships. Comparable to the Population Institute on SRHR advocacy and youth-focused research (e.g., Empower Youth report), but with a more explicit youth-led orientation.
• Guttmacher Institute: Guttmacher Institute is a leading research and policy organization focused on sexual and reproductive health and rights in the U.S. and globally, producing annual state-level report cards similar to the Population Institute's 50-State Report Card. Directly comparable mission, methodology, and target audiences (policymakers, advocates, journalists).
• Population Action International (PAI): PAI is a Washington, DC-based SRHR advocacy organization that advances universal access to family planning and reproductive health through policy, research, and partnerships. Closely comparable to the Population Institute in size, geography, advocacy focus, and Washington policy orientation.
• FP2030: FP2030 is a global partnership supporting universal access to family planning through donor coordination and country commitments. The Population Institute explicitly cites and partners with FP2030; both share advocacy missions around family planning funding and rights.

Broad incumbents

• UNFPA (United Nations Population Fund): UNFPA is the UN's sexual and reproductive health agency, working globally on family planning, gender equality, and population dynamics. Directly comparable thematic focus to the Population Institute, but operating as a multilateral with significantly more resources.
• Planned Parenthood Federation of America: Planned Parenthood is a much larger established reproductive health organization providing direct services and advocacy in the U.S. Overlaps with the Population Institute on policy advocacy, SRHR research, and the 50-State Report Card's coverage universe, but operates service delivery at scale.
• International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF): IPPF is the largest global SRHR federation with member associations in 120+ countries, providing services and advocacy worldwide. Comparable to the Population Institute on global SRHR policy advocacy and coalition building, but vastly larger in scale and budget.

Emerging players

• Ipas: Ipas is a global organization working to advance sexual and reproductive health and rights, particularly around abortion access. Comparable to the Population Institute on global SRHR policy and rights-based advocacy, though Ipas focuses more directly on clinical access and provider training.
