We believe that equitable representation is crucial to a healthy, vibrant community.
But we aren’t there yet. We still have work to do.
Ask Her is a proudly non-profit, multi-partisan, and for-purpose organization. Run entirely by a dedicated and passionate team of volunteers, we are working hard to advance equitable representation in municipal government. We do this by supporting women and gender-diverse folks to run for office.
Whether it’s a one-time gift or monthly support, every dollar helps us support future women leaders who will shape our city for generations.
Join our commitment to shaping a City Council that looks like the city it serves.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why should I donate?
It’s simple: our municipal leadership should reflect all of us.
We believe that municipal councils are more effective when they reflect the communities they serve. We advance representation by preparing people from underrepresented groups, specifically women and gender-diverse people, to engage in municipal leadership.
What will my donation go to support?
Training and Development
Ask Her offers a robust suite of workshops and programs focused on supporting women of diverse backgrounds to engage in municipal leadership. While our organization is entirely volunteer-run, with no paid staff or remuneration for board members, we still incur costs for staging events, allocating funds towards honorariums and speaker fees, and our online and in-person training and development programs.
Reducing Barriers and Expanding Networks
The most common barriers for women are often financial. These can include costs for transportation, childcare, and program/event fees. To remain as accessible as possible, we will continue to offer financial assistance by providing a low-cost/no-cost option whenever possible. Your donation would help us continue to do so.
Organizational Sustainability
Building our capacity as a growing organization will allow us to achieve our goals and continue to invest in the women we support.
