Women’s Campaign Forum, founded in 1974, is the only non-partisan political venture capitalist organization supporting women leaders at all levels of office, during the earliest stages of their public life.
Many women never consider running for office. She Should Run™ provides an online tool for talented women leaders to be asked to run for public office. We then give them the encouragement, information, and connections they need.
WCF endorses qualified women candidates who support reproductive choices running for all levels of office, nationwide. WCF supports our endorsed candidates in a variety of ways, including promotion on our website, in our newsletters, and in other communication to our members.
This program offers an opportunity for young women students and professionals between the ages of 21-35 to attend WCF events through donor sponsorship.
Congratulations on taking this first step! WCF is thrilled that you have decided to apply your considerable talents to public service—we need strong new leaders in government now more than ever. Today, women make-up less than 17% of the U.S. Congress and only 24% of all elective offices nationwide. Yet when women run, they win. We need dedicated leaders like you to step up to the plate and serve.
To request an Endorsement Application, please fill out the following form. This will also help us identify how to best support your efforts. Within a few weeks of receiving your information, a WCF staff member will be in touch to discuss your candidacy.
Important: This request form is NOT the entire Endorsement Application. This form begins a tracking file for your campaign, but in order to complete your Endorsement Application you MUST fill out a paper application. If you are a re-endorsed candidate, please contact Julie Daniels at julie@wcfonline.org to recieve re-endorsement instructions.
