Organizations To Donate To For Women's Month

by Kiersten Hickman

There are a ton of ways that you can celebrate Women's History Month, which takes place during March — but, of course, one of the most significant ways to participate in this day is to donate. To support the cause for equal women’s rights. There are tons of women organizations to donate to and to set up monthly donations subscriptions with.

These organizations have a lot of range when it comes to their mission. Some of them are concentrating on reproductive rights, making sure women have control over their own bodies and are given the choice to do with it as they please. There are organizations educating young women to get involved with politics and become powerful leaders in their communities. There are some organizations that are making sure marginalized women are equipped with proper resources when it comes to health and economic independence.

All in all, these organizations have one mission: To help women. To make sure that women have a voice, and have the proper resources to take care of themselves and help other women. Here’s a few organizations to consider donating to, as well as to consider setting up monthly donation subscriptions with so that you can continue to give back long after March is over.
