5 Women's Organizations To Donate To After Trump Won The Election

As Americans keep trying to wrap their heads around the shocking reality that Donald Trump will soon take office, it’s important to remember that there’s still a bounty of positive ways to fight what a Trump presidency might soon represent. Before moving to Canada, consider donating to these five women’s organizations because they’ll need outside support now more than ever before. Hours after the election results came in, many of these websites crashed from a surge of donations and volunteer signups because many of these nonprofits are greatly at risk of losing funding as Trump and Republicans will soon run the show.

The idea of what the United States might be like after Jan. 20 could be a disturbing and unsettling reality for a good portion of Americans. For example, the now president-elect has vowed to defund essential women’s organizations, such as Planned Parenthood, and would punish women who seek abortions, banning the procedure altogether. The 70-year-old real estate mogul also plans to repeal the Affordable Care Act, which is one of President Barack Obama's legacies that guarantees women free access to birth control.

So before Trump moves into the Oval Office, think about donating to these five women’s organizations because it's just one small way to help fight the good fight for women's rights and success.

Planned Parenthood

This 100-year-old organization, which celebrated its anniversary back in October, gives all women access to proper reproductive healthcare and provides women with opportunities to enhance their education about their rights and health decisions.

Donate to Planned Parenthood online, over the phone, or by mail.

National Coalition Against Domestic Violence

The NCADV, which was founded in 1978, aims to stop domestic violence and create a culture where it's tolerated, holding the abusers accountable and empowering the survivors.
