Family Planning Councils of America (FPCA) is a national trade association of private, not-for-profit family planning Title X grantees devoted to keeping publically-funded reproductive health services a national priority.

Established in 1991, FPCA serves as a forum for the exchange of programmatic, political and professional information; the discussion of common problems; and the provision of technical assistance among nonprofit *Title X grantee leaders.

FPCA members head organizations serving as umbrella agencies for the distribution and administration of Title X funds, as well as agencies that provide health care directly. Members are local, state and national leaders in the field.

In communities across the United States, the lives of more than one and one-half million women and their families are positively affected by health care provided or administered by FPCA member organizations. The CEOs of FPCA’s 22 member organizations constitute the organization’s Board of Directors.

* Title X of the Public Health Services Act is the national family planning program. Established in 1970, with broad bi-partisan support, publicly funded family planning services have enriched the lives of American women, children and families and improved public health. Family planning centers provide millions of women with a Pap smear; breast and pelvic examinations; screening, diagnosis and treatment of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs); and contraceptive counseling, services and supplies.

In addition to quality, cost-effective and comprehensive family planning services, FPCA members provide a broad range of other services. These may include:
  • Health education and counseling
  • HIV/AIDS counseling and testing
  • Substance abuse intervention
  • Colposcopy and cryosurgery
  • WIC (Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children)
  • Prenatal care
  • Adoption services
  • Services for adolescents, homeless, immigrant, disabled, HIV-positive, parolees, and other special populations
  • Other services that meet identified community needs
