The 19th empowers. So can you.
In this centennial year of suffrage, The 19th acknowledges that equal representation and access to the ballot box remain a work in progress for many in this country. As this election year comes to a close, our newsroom remains committed to capturing this ongoing American story. We will continue to empower those we serve in the days and years to come. And we will continue to count on the support of our members to make that happen.
As part of our Fall Member Drive, current 19th supporters can expand on their support by hosting fundraisers on our behalf.
How do fundraisers work?
Raising funds for The 19th is free and only requires a few steps. Tell the people you know best why our work matters to you! To participate, simply click here to create your fundraising page with a goal and a note to encourage your friends and family to give. Adding a profile photo will also make your fundraiser feel relevant to your community.
You’ll receive a confirmation email when your fundraiser is ready to share with your friends and family. We encourage you to post that link on your social media pages, via email and with your favorite group chat through our Fall Member Drive, ending Dec. 15. You’ll receive email notifications when someone donates and when you reach your fundraiser goal — which you can also track through your member portal.
What makes a good fundraiser?
- Tell your friends why The 19th matters to you. What 19th stories have you enjoyed reading? What inspired you to subscribe or donate?
- Explain what The 19th is: a nonprofit newsroom covering gender, politics and policy, serving women and communities traditionally underserved and underrepresented by American media.

About The 19th
At a time when newsroom budgets across the United States are shrinking, The 19th is investing in serious, nonpartisan reporting that reimagines politics and policy journalism to be more inclusive of and responsive to all women and historically underserved and underrepresented people. That means:
- Having reporters anchored across the country, not just on the coasts
- Meeting our readers where they are, whether it’s online, in person or in the pages of their local newspaper
- Making our journalism free for state and local publications to republish
- Engaging with our audience to better understand how their lives are shaped by the decisions their elected officials make
- Hitting the pavement to listen to people’s lived experiences, to tell their stories and to elevate their voices
One thing I’ve loved about being a founding member of The 19th is that they value all donors — not just the big ones.
