Giving Tuesday asks us to support the causes we believe in.
At 51&, we’re asking something specific:
Use today to build the collective influence women have always deserved in healthcare.
Our goal is to welcome 500 lifetime members into our community, for $100.
If you’ve been following us and reading along, you know that women make up 51% of the population, but we have never held 51% of the power when decisions are made about our own health, our research, our care, or our outcomes. We’re changing that — and we want you with us.
Why today matters:
Women’s health won’t transform because a few people donate.
It transforms when thousands of us pool our voices, our dollars, and our lived experience into a force that sets new priorities.
That’s what 51& is building: the biggest, broadest membership driving influence in women’s health. And Giving Tuesday is the moment we grow that power together.
Two ways to participate today (Choose what feels right for you.)

Give the women you love a seat at the table
If there is a woman you care deeply about — a friend, daughter, sister, colleague — you can gift her:
a voice,
a vote in our priorities,
and all the benefits that come with membership
A membership is a powerful, meaningful, future-forward gift. And right now it lasts more than one year.
What your participation supports today
✔ Research that answers the questions women have been dismissed over for decades
In areas like maternal health, autoimmune disease, and overlooked conditions.
✔ Public urgency that breaks taboos and drives culture forward
In issues like care deserts and physician shortages, hormone therapy, dismissed pain.
✔ Policy pressure rooted in lived experience
For change like reimbursement reform that means women’s health is treated equitably.
✔ A broad tent where differences aren’t barriers to progress
In a divided moment, unity becomes power.
Giving Tuesday isn’t about charity. It’s about building the influence women deserve.
Why your voice matters today
If you’ve ever felt unheard in a doctor’s office…
If you’ve ever waited years for a diagnosis…
If you’ve ever noticed how few answers there are to women’s health questions…
If you’ve ever thought, “Why isn’t anyone fixing this?”
This is the answer.
We fix it by joining together — today.
Your Giving Tuesday action:
One day of giving.
A year of influence.
A future where women’s health finally works for every woman.
PS If you’ve been planning to join 51& at some point…
Today is the day with the most collective impact.
Every new member strengthens the force we’re building for 2026.
With gratitude,
The 51& Team
