Our Mission
The Electing Women Alliance is a national network of local giving groups that harness the collective power of women to support women candidates. Our goal is to increase participation in the political process by building communities of women who come together to contribute to women running for office.
Our Story
EWA aims to empower women as donors, raisers and activists so they have a strong voice both individually and collectively in the political process.
The model is based on Electing Women PAC, a Denver-based network of women founded in 2000 to support women candidates for U.S. Senate and Governor.

Beginning in 2014, Electing Women, in partnership with Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand’s Off the Sidelines PAC, worked together to expand giving circles in cities around the country.
We now have giving circles in 17 cities around the country in Atlanta, Austin, Boston, Boston Metro West, Chicago, Denver, East Bay, Los Angeles, New York, Philadelphia, San Francisco, Santa Fe, Seattle, Silicon Valley, Vail, Washington DC, and Wine Country. We expect to have 20 thriving giving circles by the end of the 2020 election cycle. It’s easy to start a group in your area. Contact us to learn more.
