Global GAIN

Support Global GAIN


Global GAIN is a nonprofit nongovernmental charitable organization (501 c3) formed to build a global network of political professionals, democracy champions, and changemakers in public service, politics, peace, human rights, issue advocacy, the arts, and social entrepreneurship. We are professionals dedicated to seeing more women and BIPOC in public leadership positions globally.


Formed initially to engage in international programs focused on democratic and women’s leadership – we find ourselves as focused at home in the US in other places in the world. When our democracy is threatened – the whole world is threatened. Our reimagined mission is dedicated to recruiting and training a new generation of talent who want to make impacting democracy, elections, and advocacy a profession and are looking for support to build their careers.


We continue to build meaningful connections across cultures, particularly on lifting women and young political, civic, and entrepreneurial leaders in the U.S. and globally in developing democracies.

Global GAIN believes that the solutions to the most significant problems in the world will be found when women achieve parity in leadership positions at every level of public and civic life. Inspired by the power of women’s leadership, we are committed to the Global Goals for Sustainable Development. We believe the 5th goal – Gender Equality is the secret to achieving each of the other goals. Global GAIN will develop and support programs that promote women leaders in public life and build meaningful connections to one another through these programs.

Our vision is aspirational, while our specific program goals are impactful, practical activities that tangibly improve and work towards gender parity in public life. Our theory of change is when women receive support through network building, coaching, and training, they get the skills and confidence to engage in meaningful leadership roles in their communities. Those roles may include running for public office, advocacy, the arts, community development, and other social entrepreneurship. When more women serve in leadership roles in public life, there is less corruption and better governance, and overarching issues such as peace, education, and healthcare receive more attention and priority. Our current programs focus in the U.S., Ukraine, and East Africa.
