About The White House Project
The White House Project, a national, nonpartisan, not-for-profit
organization, 501(c)(3), aims to advance women’s leadership in all
communities and sectors, up to the U.S. presidency. By filling the
leadership pipeline with a richly diverse, critical mass of women,
we make American institutions, businesses and government truly
representative. Through multi-platform programs, The White House
Project creates a culture where America’s most valuable untapped
resource—women—can succeed in all realms. To advance this mission,
The White House Project strives to support women and the issues
that allow women to lead in their own lives and in the world. When
women leaders bring their voices, vision and leadership to the
table alongside men, the debate is more robust and the policy is
more inclusive and sustainable. By supporting women and the values
that allow women to succeed—the full range of health options,
security platforms that utilize all our resources, economic
stability for all—we work to create an equitable culture.
Through our regional offices in Colorado, Minnesota, Michigan, Georgia, and New York, over 9,000 women have been trained across the country since 2004. They are some of the most underrepresented women in our political system: 43% are women of color; 46% earn less than $30,000 per year; and 70% are under the age of 35. From urban centers to rural towns, these women are now leading as campaign managers, issue advocates, fundraisers, community organizers, and elected officials throughout the U.S.
Having developed our programming through years of research, we know from experience that Vote, Run, Lead works: our ongoing evaluation by the independent Humphrey Institute has revealed that 98% of program participants surveyed feel inspired to run for office as a result of the training, while 94% report an increased confidence in their ability to run. The strongest impact is always reported by young women and women of color – those who are traditionally untapped for positions of leadership.
