We are excited to announce our inaugural grants of $500K -- because #TheFutureIsFemale is more than a hashtag. It's a plan.
Women's Public Leadership Network is putting our money where our mouth is by preparing more women to seek and secure public office.
This year marks the 100th anniversary of the passage of the 19th Amendment, granting the majority of women the right to vote. But progress has been slow when it comes to holding elected office. Only 24 percent of Congressional seats are held by women, and women account for only 29 percent of state legislatures. WPLN supports the advancement of women in leadership roles ranging from their local school boards to the U.S. Congress and beyond.
