As the #1 OB/GYN-recommended brand of emergency contraception, Plan B maintains the largest and longest-standing emergency contraception donation program in the country as part of an ongoing goal to ensure people have access to emergency contraception when they need it, and to support the organizations and clinics who can distribute it directly to them. This commitment comes to life through the Plan B Community Impact Program, which, through the work of community organizations, supports women in under-served communities where access to healthcare products may be difficult, such as contraception deserts and areas with limited access to medical care.

“There are so many incredible organizations, clinics, and student groups around the country who play a critical role in providing sexual health and wellness resources to their communities,” said Tara Evans, Marketing Director, Plan B One-Step. “We are proud to support these partners through product donations and educational resources to help strengthen the direct impact they are making in women’s lives. We are committed to supporting women’s health programs and ensuring their access to emergency contraception for years to come.”
