Support Black Women’s Health Imperative

Thanks to the generosity of supporters like you, Black Women’s Health Imperative (BWHI) has been able to continue the necessary and hard work of achieving results for Black women and girls. Like many organizations, BWHI significantly relies on donations and investments to perform our critical work. If not for BWHI’s decades of advocating, demanding, achieving, and persisting, an indifferent and systemically racist healthcare system would have rendered this nation’s 21 million Black women and girls vulnerable and unsupported. It is through the dedication of our donors and our partners that BWHI’s results are possible. We need your support to continue leading the charge for the health and wellness of Black women and girls nationwide. Please join the hundreds who donate to BWHI each year and make our lifesaving and systemchanging work possible. Your gifts will ensure the powerful mission and achievements of BWHI can continue for many years to come.

Help us secure a healthy future for BWHI and the

Black women and girls we serve. To donate, please visit us at www.bwhi.org/donate or call 202-787-5937.
