THE W.H.E.W. RISING FUND
ABOUT W.H.E.W.
Women’s Health & Evolutionary Wellness (W.H.E.W.) is a womanist, community-rooted 501(c)(3) building power at the intersection of health, economic justice, culture, and democracy across Texas and the South.
We center Black women, girls, and gender-expansive people as the foundation for collective survival and liberation. Our work extends across the broader Black community, engaging Black men and boys as partners in building health, stability, and collective power.
W.H.E.W. operates as a living ecosystem—where care, strategy, and community converge. We do not work in silos. We build integrated solutions that address the full conditions shaping Black life: access to care, economic stability, political power, and cultural truth.
This is where healing meets strategy.
This is where community becomes infrastructure.
This is where power is built—intentionally and collectively.

Women’s Health & Evolutionary Wellness | A 501(c)(3) Nonprofit | Rooted in Healing. Rising in Power.
Women’s Health & Evolutionary Wellness (W.H.E.W.) is a womanist-rooted nonprofit organization advancing racial, reproductive, and cultural justice through healing-centered leadership, wellness, and community power building. We center Black women, girls, and gender-expansive people, while intentionally engaging Black men and boys as partners in building healthier families, stronger communities, and sustainable systems of liberation across Texas and the South.
What Are Our Needs?
Women’s Health & Evolutionary Wellness (W.H.E.W.) is launching at a time of deep political, health, and cultural disruption—particularly for Black women, families, and communities in North Texas and across the South. To meet this moment with integrity and sustainability, W.H.E.W. has five core needs:
1. Sustainable Operating Support
As a new 501(c)(3), W.H.E.W. needs unrestricted, flexible funding to build a strong foundation. This includes:
Core staffing and consultants
Financial management and compliance
Technology, data systems, and communications infrastructure
Insurance, legal, and administrative support
Unrestricted operating funds ensure we can respond quickly to community needs while maintaining accountability and stability.
2. Healing-Centered Program Investment
Our work requires investment in programs that integrate wellness, leadership, and justice. We need resources to:
Launch leadership development and training pipelines
Sustain Black women & HIV justice initiatives
Support wellness and healing spaces for community members and leaders
Develop culturally grounded curricula and facilitation tools
These programs are essential to long-term health, resilience, and power building.
3. Community Power & Civic Engagement Resources
To strengthen community voice and participation, W.H.E.W. needs support for:
Nonpartisan voter education and issue-based civic engagement
Community organizing and base-building
Policy education and advocacy capacity
Communications and outreach tools
This work ensures communities most impacted by inequity are equipped to influence decisions that affect their lives.
4. Cultural & Narrative Infrastructure
Changing systems requires changing stories. W.H.E.W. needs investment in:
Cultural justice and storytelling platforms
Narrative strategy and communications
Documentation of lived experience and community wisdom
Creative partnerships that shift public understanding of wellness and justice
This infrastructure amplifies truth, honors dignity, and builds collective imagination.
5. Leadership Care & Movement Sustainability
Our communities cannot thrive if leaders are exhausted or unsupported. W.H.E.W. needs resources to:
Prevent burnout through wellness-centered leadership care
Provide coaching, reflection, and rest for staff and community leaders
Build sustainable leadership pathways for the next generation
This is not optional—it is essential for durable, long-term impact.
In Summary
W.H.E.W. needs investment that allows us to:
Build strong systems, not just programs
Respond to urgency without sacrificing care
Launch with integrity, accountability, and sustainability
Create lasting wellness-centered justice infrastructure
This is why we are raising $150,000 through The W.H.E.W. Rising Fund—to meet these needs and begin our work with strength and clarity.
Women’s Health & Evolutionary Wellness (W.H.E.W.) is committed to equity as a core practice, not a performance. We recognize that systemic racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, and economic injustice shape access to health, wellness, safety, and power—especially for Black women, girls, gender-expansive people, and their families.
We work to dismantle these inequities by centering the leadership, lived experience, and cultural wisdom of Black communities. Equity at W.H.E.W. means designing programs, policies, and systems that intentionally address historical harm, redistribute resources, and create conditions where all people can thrive with dignity.
