WomenCount is a non-profit progressive political organization that gives women of all generations and backgrounds from around the United States a powerful voice in the political process. Our main project is WomenCount.org, a donation platform that enables donors to give to slates of women running at the national and local level.
And we want to make political participation simple and fun—all with the goal to elect more women.
We think there are better ways to get individuals involved in politics. Instead of being solicited over and over by candidates, campaigns, and organizations, we are putting the “ask” in the hands of personal networks. We think we can have more impact by mobilizing donors at all levels and deploying our personal networks to support slates of progressive women candidates for state and local offices, Congress and the presidency.
Our donation platform was created to tap into the astonishing success of peer to peer fundraising—and put it to work on behalf of electing more women. No algorithms—just wisdom, judgment and trust. We handpick slates based on real research and on-the-ground insight, not trends. You can build your own cart of candidates or give to curated slates that reflect your values and priorities.
