Our Plan & Goals
Lifting Barriers, Transforming Lives
Our work is inspired by real success stories. Just like Colorado's LARC4CO program, which witnessed a 50% reduction in teen births and abortions, our mission is to remove barriers, create opportunities, and improve lives. By drawing insights from the Contraceptive CHOICE Project, we're making LARC methods accessible and empowering women to take control of their reproductive health.

Dr. Tim Grayem
Owner/dentist at Saint Louis County Dental Partnership.
A male dentist isn't the typical passionate contraception advocate, but that is what Dr. Grayem has become. After reading about the Contraceptive CHOICE project he wondered why the region was not using this groundbreaking study and information to improve the lives of women and families in the region. Tim took it upon himself and created the Brighter Futures Foundation to address inequalities in birth control access.
