'''Intact America''' (IA) is a U.S. 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 20072008. 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 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>
'''Mission:''' Intact America fulfills its mission by challenging social and sexual norms and by advocating for the health and wellbeing of all children and the adults they will become. They do this through creative messaging, advocacy, education, public policy reform, and the empowerment of their supporters, partners and volunteers.
