John,
I'm emailing because, as a Women's Marcher and an integral member of this movement, you really need to see this statistic:
According to a report by the Women's Philanthropy Institute, only about 1.6% of total charitable giving in the U.S. goes towards nonprofits like ours focused on women’s issues.
When I saw this number, my jaw dropped a little bit. That's a staggeringly low percentage going to organizations like Women's March who are working to build our feminist future — and it's past time for that number to rise. If the last four years have taught us anything, it’s that women count on women in tough times; and in order to support women, we need to dedicate the resources necessary to protect reproductive freedom, fight for equal-pay, hold sexual abusers accountable, end domestic violence, and so much more. That's why I'm asking you personally:
While we may not have huge foundations underwriting our programs, we do have one really powerful way to spread our message, build woman to woman organizing power, and advocate for women's progress:
We've got you, John.
To fund our programs, marches, and mobilizations Women's March relies overwhelmingly on grassroots supporters like you. Our average donation is just $17.97, and 74% of our total support last year came from grassroots donors.
Those are numbers I'm incredibly proud of. Together in 2021, we're fighting for COVID relief, advocating for voting rights and racial justice, and building our organizing power, and we're just getting started. We've seen this movement come together and achieve incredible things just $5, $10, and $15 dollars at a time — after all, this team helped win back the Senate AND the White House. We can continue our crucial work if enough members of this team chip in to renew their support
Thank you for all that you do,
Rachel
