Make Your Legacy Count. Join our Legacy Society Planned Giving Program

You can make the greater Kansas City community a better place for women and girls. Women are underrepresented in politics, and we want to change that in Kansas and Missouri. Join us in our fight for women to achieve political equality. We are a nonpartisan organization that sponsors projects to educate women about leadership and how they can contribute to the political process. We strive to improve the status of women by amplifying their voices in every level of government.

Estate gift planning isn’t just for the wealthy. We all should consider what will happen to our home, life insurance policy, retirement plan, or other assets at the end of our lives. By including the Women in Politics Foundation (WIP) in your estate gift plan, you will make a powerful statement that investing in women’s equality is important.

Together, we can make a difference and create a more equal and fair society

Our Legacy Society honors the legacy and leadership of Rosemary Smithson and Biddy Hurlbut. We invite you to join them and other like-minded supporters committed to building an equitable future for women and girls by being a part of our planned giving program.
