About Us

The Women in Politics Foundation, Inc. (WIP) is a nonpartisan nonprofit organization committed to advancing political equality for women in Missouri and Kansas. Our mission is to create a steady stream of qualified, confident women who have the knowledge, resources, and support they need to run successful campaigns and serve in public office.

We believe a more representative democracy begins with more women at the table.

 
 
  • WIP educates and empowers women to step into leadership roles and engage in every level of the political process. Through hands-on training, leadership development, and community-building efforts, we prepare women to run for office—and win.

    Our workshops and programs cover essential campaign skills including fundraising, platform development, public speaking, and volunteer engagement. By investing in women’s leadership, we are investing in stronger, more inclusive communities.

  • We envision a future where women hold at least 50% of national and statewide offices. To achieve this, WIP is building a growing family of funds dedicated to supporting political education, leadership training, and campaign readiness. Our long-term goal is to ensure every woman who wants to serve has access to the tools and support she needs to succeed.

  • Women’s representation in politics is crucial to achieving gender equity and ensuring that a full spectrum of policy issues and solutions are considered. When women lead, communities thrive.

    We are proud to be part of the growing momentum toward political parity. Women are running—and winning—at record rates. But there is still work to do.

  • We are guided by a dynamic board of leaders who are passionate about building a better future through women’s political participation. With your support, we can continue to train, mentor, and uplift the next generation of changemakers.
