The Women's Fund of The Greater Cincinnati Foundation 
proudly presents two new research reports

Research Exclusive on the Status of Women’s Economic Self Sufficiency in Greater Cincinnati

Many of you remember the 2005 release of the groundbreaking report by The Women’s Fund, PULSE: A Study of the Status of Women and Girls in Greater Cincinnati. That report led to many important changes for women from leadership development to partnerships for funding programs that made a difference for women and girls.

It is time to update the picture painted in the 2005. Much has changed in our community – there have been pockets of positive change but the economic downturn has caused a big increase in those who are struggling to make ends meet.

The Women’s Fund is releasing the first two reports in a new series. The first report delves more deeply into an issue that our community is working on – changing the poverty trends. The second report is an analysis of one of the major hurdles women face on their climb up the self-sufficiency ladder – the Cliff Effect. 

Join us at the third session of our interactive series called "the eXXchange" -- where we seek to understand community issues through the lens of those two x chromosomes.  This session is free and open to the public.

At this session, participants will get a first glimpse at new research commissioned by The Women's Fund. You'll be among the first to see this research and learn how it is affecting our community. This will be an engaging conversation about the newest findings and an overview of one of the most interesting and confounding aspects of attaining self-sufficiency.

The vision of The Women's Fund is to lead the conversation about women's economic self-sufficiency in our community and ignite a shared desire to improve it.
