Support - Women For Election

Women for Election is a not-for-profit and is funded through a mix of philanthropic grants, private donations, government funding and revenue generated through our training programmes.

We are delighted that the Department of Housing, Planning and Local Government have given a commitment to ongoing funding for Women for Election. However, this funding meets less than half our costs and we need to fundraise to ensure we can continue our work to see #MoreWomen elected.

Long-term, sustained funding is essential for Women for Election to deliver on our commitment to political transformation and successfully inspire and equip women to consider politics as a career option. If you want to help us change the face of Irish politics and get more women on the ballot and into Leinster House, donate. No amount is too small.

Join the Countess Markievicz Circle

In 2013, we established our Countess Markievicz Circle, a group of women and men who are committed to supporting Women for Election by:

Making a minimum gift of €1,500 per year, renewed over three years
Opening their networks to Women for Election to help us grow the movement
Members of the Countess Markievicz Circle recognise that to deliver Women for Election’s core mission – to get more women elected – we must have regular, reliable core funding to support the day-to-day running of the organisation.

I have allocated €62,000 to support women councillors establish caucuses in their areas.

It is imperative that we increase the number of women in Local Government and as Minister, I am determined to see a marked increase by 2024
