In  order to create social change for women and girls, we must look at how the gender and racial wealth gap plays a fundamental role in affecting all women’s potential for economic empowerment and leadership. The gender and racial wealth gap has intergenerational economic impacts on the lives of girls and women and closing the gender and racial wealth gap is integral to women’s economic security, good health, and civic and political engagement.

This is why the Women's Fund, with input from The Women's Place and others, created the Assets for Equity: Building  Wealth for Women in Central Ohio report. The report is the first step in bringing local data to central Ohio to help drive evidence-based solutions to assuring economic prosperity for all.  

Jennifer Beard, director of The Women’s Place, represented Ohio State University on the advisory committee that supported the research, ongoing dissemination and application of the report.
