After the 2016 Presidential Election, InvestHER founders Jennifer Benson and Jordan Henry decided it was time to get involved. Inspired by the work of Electing Women, an organization that raises money for pro-choice women candidates running for Governor, United States Senate, and President, InvestHER was created to build a network of young professionals to raise money for women running for office.
InvestHER holds monthly networking events and fundraisers for pro-choice women candidates running for office. These events will take place on the first Thursday of each month. For fundraising events, each attendee agrees to make a $50 donation ($25 for students) directly to the candidates. These events provide a powerful networking opportunity, not just with the women running for office, but also with the other young professionals near you! You can also become an InvestHER member by making an annual $120 donation (or $10/month). InvestHERs have special access to InvestHER events and receive exclusive InvestHER gear. We also share candidate profiles, blogs, sister organization events, and more on our website.
