'''Intact America''' (IA) is a U.S. 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 2007. It was founded by [[Georganne Chapin]], a healthcare leader, CEO and intactivist. IA's founding was facilitated by Texas businessman Dean Pisani who pledged $1 million to Intact America because, he said, he and his wife were pressured in 1999 by a physician at Northwestern Memorial Hospital to circumcise their first child, a boy. The Pisani's rebuffed the doctor's pressure tactics, and in turn assisted in funded the creation of IA.<ref>https://www.inquirer.com/philly/health/Medical_groups_may_recommend_procedure_on_boys_but_opponents_say_benefits_exaggerated.html</ref>
