Support UNFPA Funding Act
Sponsored By: Representative Houlahan, Chrissy [D-PA-6]
Introduced
Summary
Funding the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) would back reproductive health, reduce preventable maternal deaths, and strengthen programs against gender-based violence and harmful practices worldwide. The bill would authorize specific funding to support those core UNFPA functions in fragile and humanitarian settings.
Show full summary
- Women, girls, and families: Would fund programs aimed at ending preventable maternal deaths and meeting contraceptive needs. The sources note nearly 800 pregnancy-related deaths daily in fragile settings and over 226 million women who want to avoid pregnancy but are not using a modern contraceptive method.
- Humanitarian and safety-net services: Would support UNFPA work in crises where medical infrastructure is damaged and reach survivors of harmful practices. The sources list about 230 million women who have survived female genital mutilation and about 12 million girls married before age 18 each year.
- U.S. policy and stewardship: Frames UNFPA as advancing U.S. strategic interests in global health and stability and cites a 2025 Multilateral Organization Performance Assessment Network review finding UNFPA highly relevant and effective. The review also says U.S. contributions are held in a segregated account and that UNFPA does not fund abortion or promote it as family planning.
*Authorizes at least $50 million for fiscal year 2026 and $55 million for fiscal year 2027 to support UNFPA programs.*

U.S. funding for UN reproductive health abroad
If enacted, the bill would authorize at least $50 million for fiscal year 2026 and $55 million for fiscal year 2027 for the United Nations Population Fund. The money would support maternal health, voluntary family planning, and access to contraceptives. It would also help fight gender-based violence and harmful practices like child marriage and female genital mutilation. Funds could be used in disasters and conflicts when clinics are damaged. The amounts would be in addition to other funds and would stay available until spent.
