Women's Congressional Policy Institute

The Women’s Congressional Policy Institute is a nonpartisan, nonprofit public policy organization whose mission is to bring women policymakers together across party lines. The group works closely with the Congressional Caucus for Women’s Issues, which includes every woman member of Congress, sponsoring programs to complement the Caucus’s work. The group administers a bicameral, bipartisan group of female chiefs of staff and committee staff directors and a congressional fellowship program to build a new generation of women leaders in public service. This grant will expand the group’s capacity to fulfill its mission, helping to increase bipartisan collaboration in Congress.
