About WCF Foundation
WCF Foundation, founded in 2006 as a 501(c)(3) sister organization of the Women's Campaign Forum(WCF), is dedicated to helping women build the skills and infrastructure they need to become more effective leaders in public life. WCF Foundation conducts action-oriented research and develops targeted programs that prepare women to become more politically active, increase their engagement in key democratic processes, and ready them for public leadership roles. At WCF Foundation, we not only identify barriers to women's political equality - we find solutions.
WCF Foundation's Work
Problem: Women give, but not to candidates
Even though women direct 80 percent of household purchases, women make less than 30 percent of federal political donations
Solution: Vote With Your Purse
Our ongoing research initiative is focused on understanding women as political donors and the factors driving their decisions about politicalgiving. The next phase of our work will investigate women's online giving
Problem: Women lead, but are missing from appointed roles
Critical policy and legislation are made and influenced in appointed office, yet women still represent fewer than 30 percent of appointed officials in the states
Solution: Appoint Her
WCF Foundation aims to build a more representative democracy by increasing the voice of women in key political processes-political giving and appointment to key governmental roles. Appoint Her is the first national resource for women seeking appointed office. It offers insight into what it's like to serve, tips for networking, and advice for how women can best position themselves to become appointed.
Coming Soon
WCF Foundation will continue its National Awareness Campaign with the DC premiere of the Voices From The Ladder™ performance piece on September 23rd at WCF's Ladder to the Top event.
