The Ascend Fund is a collaborative fund dedicated to accelerating the pace of change toward gender parity in U.S. politics. We pool philanthropic capital and make mission-driven investments in nonpartisan, nonprofit organizations that break down barriers preventing women from running for office and winning. ... The Ascend Fund is committed to accelerating the pace of change toward gender parity in U.S. politics. Because while women are 51% of the U.S. population, they make up less than 30% of our country's elected leaders - even accounting for recent and historic gains... We believe in the advancement and representation of women and all marginalized genders, including but not limited to transgender, intersex, Two Spirit, and non-binary people. The Ascend Fund, and our partners, strive to make sure that gender equity is intersectional and inclusive of all people who have historically been oppressed.
