We see a world where women shape the healthcare system they deserve—intentionally by design.
Our mission is to fund, connect, and scale a new foundation that supports a system where women are included.
51& is a Public Benefit Corp and the first organization to fund work across every lever that impacts women’s health, with the ambition to undo the structural neglect that harms women across every stage of their life.
