We know your in-box is flooded with asks today, but please consider giving to WomenCount, too. 

The election has left many of us searching for answers, explanations, and next steps. While we can’t know exactly what the next four years will bring, here’s what we do know:

🔶 When women candidates are sufficiently funded, they win. Despite being outspent by their opponents and out-raised by other competitive male candidates, Jacky Rosen, Tammy Baldwin, Elissa Slotkin, and Angela Alsobrooks all won their elections in November. 

🔶 We still need more women in office, and more women donors. Women in elected office remained stagnant this year—stuck at 28 percent of Congress and 33 percent of state legislators. That puts the US at 75th in the world in the percentage of women in elected office. And women made up only 31 percent of political donors this cycle, a decline from 2022. 

🔶 WomenCount and the Electing Women Alliance are the only efforts in the country devoted exclusively to expanding communities of women donors making individual political donations directly to candidates, the only funds available for campaigns to spend that they control. 

🔶 As the Democratic party continues to process the lessons from November, the next two election years are critical. In 2025, women candidates are frontrunners in important gubernatorial races in Virginia and New Jersey. And in 2026, all eyes will be on flipping the House, and women candidates will have an outsized role—once again—in that effort. 

Our work, and this community, has never been more important. With both voters and donors searching for identity and connection in this moment, WomenCount offers guidance, purpose, and results. And we do it together.

But we cannot do this work without funding. Help us reach our operational budget goals by donating to WomenCount this Giving Tuesday. We are a women-founded, women-run organization with a track record of success. Donate $25 or more to WomenCount today.

Help us stay in the fight!
