Our achievements and goals

What we do

In eight months, we have successfully incorporated better contraception into the current agenda of German federal policy - but there is more work to be done.

Petition

With our petition for better contraception, we were able to collect more than 130,000 signatures and acquire various supporters for our demands.

German parties

Demands for better contraception were included in the party agendas of the FDP, SPD, Greens and LINKE for the 2021 federal elections.

Federal Government

We were successful in convincing the German government to include the demands for better contraception in the coalition agreement.

Research funding

Up to 60 million euros per year are now available for contraceptive research! The Bundestag Budget Committee has approved a new funding guideline on "Contraceptives for all genders".

Free access to contraceptives

We aim to make equal and free contraception a reality – on a national and international level.

FAQ

The important questions

What payment options are available?

You can simply donate via Paypal, bank transfer or credit card using our donation form.

How do I receive a receipt for my donation?

For a donation of more than 200 euros made directly to the Better Birth Control e.V. bank account, we will issue a donation receipt. For donations via the donation form, a donation receipt will be issued by Betterplace.

How often can I donate?

This is up to you! You can choose between a one-time, monthly or annual donation on the donation form. If you have any questions or individual requests, you can always contact us.

What does it mean to become a support member?

As a sustaining member, you support us with a fixed monthly amount and thereby support long-term projects. Of course, as part of the Better Birth Control team, you also receive certain benefits, such as invitations to events. Would you like to become a supporting member? Then contact us via the contact form or by mail.

Can I deduct my donation from my taxes?

Better Birth Control is a non-profit organization and issues a donation receipt for donations of €200 or more. With this receipt or the donation receipt issued by Betterplace, you can deduct your donation from taxes in Germany, regardless of whether it is a permanent donation or a one-time donation.

How does my donation help you?

We guarantee that your donation will benefit the advocacy for better contraception - both in Germany and internationally. Monthly and recurring donations have the greatest impact. As a donor-funded organization, this allows us to plan and finance long-term projects.

* While we speak of women and men, we are aware of the diversity of genders and demand better contraception for all people.
