WPLN is building a network of state-based organizations who are identifying, engaging, and training women to run for elected office, obtain political appointments, and become more involved in the political process.
We partner with nonprofit organizations that align with our mission and share our values. These organizations are empowering women to lead and become more engaged at every level of government.
HOW WE SUPPORT
INVESTMENT AND PROGRAMMATIC SUPPORT
WPLN supports the efforts of our partners through direct funding, operational guidance, programmatic resources, and marketing amplification. Partners meet bimonthly as a network and have access to the WPLN staff for questions and support throughout the year.

LBJ Women’s Campaign School
The purpose of the LBJ Women's Campaign School is to increase the number of women in elected office and campaign senior staff positions, regardless of political affiliation, through a structured curriculum, high-impact mentorship and alumnae support.
Nevada Women’s Leadership Alliance
Nevada Women’s Leadership Alliance aims to create a better Nevada, one woman at a time. We seek to support women who share our values for common sense pragmatic policy solutions, are pro-business and resource development, and believe in efficient, fiscally responsible government management. We focus on women with these values because they are widely underrepresented in elective or appointed public service roles and in the business world in Nevada.
The Pocketbook Project
The Pocketbook Project places resources and skill sets at the disposal of fiscally responsible female candidates for federal, state, and local offices across New England. Because right of center women are less likely to run and the party structure lacks the apparatus to help them, the Pocketbook Project fills the gap.
We focus on candidates who support equality, the free market, fiscally responsible spending and transparency in government.
She Holds the Key
She Holds the Key is a nonprofit organization dedicated to encouraging and equipping Michigan women to run for local, state and federal offices.

Virginia Conservative Women’s Coalition
Virginia Conservative Women’s Coalition’s goal is to encourage and empower conservative women to be leaders in their communities, including running for state and local office. We are changing the narrative. Virginia Conservative Women’s Coalition (VCWC) does not endorse candidates. VCWC works to educate and inform candidates, leaders, and activists around the Commonwealth.
VoteHer Georgia
VoteHer seeks to increase the number of women participating in the political process. We encourage, engage, and educate women in Georgia to participate in politics through voting, advocacy, running for elected office, and serving on community and government commissions and boards.
