Women's Health Advocates

What Women's Health Advocates does

Women's Health Advocates (WHA) is a private advocacy coalition founded around 2023 that mobilizes a nationwide network of approximately 5,000 advocates and roughly 100 steering committee members to influence U.S. policy and federal funding for women's health. The organization operates a coalition-based model uniting patients, clinicians, researchers, industry leaders, and policymakers, and partners with G2G Consulting for professional lobbying execution on Capitol Hill. Its core products include the Write to Congress self-service letter tool, monthly Zoom advocacy calls, Capitol Hill Day events, congressional briefings, and the multi-part "My Vote. Our Health." webinar series. Sub-brands include the Breast Cancer Early Detection Coalition (BCEDC), the Reimbursement Discrimination Working Group, the Women's Digital Health Network, and the Endo & Adeno Coalition, each targeting a specific policy vertical within women's health. WHA is not a designated 501(c)(3); donations are routed through the Catalytic Impact Foundation for tax-deductible giving.

WHA generates revenue through a three-tier membership structure: individual steering committee seats at $2,000/year, business seats at $5,000-10,000/year, and an executive committee of 5-8 members at $25,000-50,000/year, supplemented by corporate sponsorships and donations processed via Catalytic Impact Foundation. Named sponsors include GE Healthcare, Hologic, Siemens Healthineers, Brem Foundation, and Tigerlily Foundation. The organization operates with 1-10 employees and has built geographic reach across 15+ states with active chapters in markets including Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, New York, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, San Francisco, Phoenix, Birmingham, Cleveland, Raleigh, and Washington D.C. Its primary GTM motions are community-led advocacy and event-driven engagement, with a secondary sales-led motion targeting institutional and corporate memberships.

• Capitol Hill Day Advocacy Events In-person advocacy events in Washington, D.C. that convene advocates to meet directly with Members of Congress, including a Congressional Briefing and a Hill Day reception.
