Also Known As:
Patty Brisben Foundation for Women's Sexual Health

We are here to advocate, educate, and fund research that advances the understanding and treatment of women's sexual health issues. We believe that women’s sexual health does not discriminate based on race, skin color, religion, or socioeconomic status, and we are committed to supporting all women.

Since our inception, we have been driven by a singular goal: to support and empower women. As a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, The She+ Foundation relies on fundraising, individual gifts, and
corporate donations to fuel our initiatives. Our efforts have raised over $8 million, funding critical research and breaking new ground in women's sexual health. Our impact is seen in the healthier, happier lives of your sisters, friends, daughters, and granddaughters. Our board of medical advisors guide the foundation in funding groundbreaking research that has significantly advanced the women’s sexual health movement.
