The Women's Fund of the Greater Cincinnati Foundation is grateful to the Northern Kentucky Chamber of Commerce Women’s Initiative for hosting Professional Series, “Boardroom Balance: Bringing Women to the Table” on Thursday, December 5.

The discussion highlighted the importance of board service, how to secure a seat at the table, and the transformative impact it can have on careers. Thank you for allowing us to be part of such a powerful and essential conversation!

Did you know Ohio’s state budget plays a huge role in shaping policies that impact women and families? On Tuesday December 10, our own Holly Hankinson represented The Women's Fund of the Greater Cincinnati Foundation and attended a state budget training event hosted by The Center for Community Solutions in Columbus, OH. It was an incredible opportunity to learn how the budget process works and how we can advocate for policies that create lasting change next year. Throughout the day, we heard from bipartisan elected leaders, state government representatives, local policy experts, and journalists covering the statehouse. Understanding the state budget might seem complicated, but it's essential to shaping a brighter future for Ohio’s women and families. Swipe through to see highlights from the day and learn more about why this work matters!

Exciting News! As The Women's Fund of the Greater Cincinnati Foundation approaches the 20th anniversary of our groundbreaking Pulse: A Study on the Status of Women and Girls in Greater Cincinnati (2005), we’re thrilled to partner with valued instituions of higher learning like UC Blue Ash College and Associate Professor, J.A. Carter to update this resource. Instead of a traditional report, we’re creating an interactive online data dashboard—a dynamic tool for understanding the state of women and girls in our region today. Thanks to the hard work of students in Carter’s class who gathered data on housing, education, economic security, and childcare across Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana, we’re building a platform that will empower organizations and communities with accessible, actionable insights. Kudos to Applied Research Director, Dr. Travis Speice for taking on this task and speaking directly to UC Blue Ash students as part of the process. Stay tuned for the launch of the dashboard and future infographics to bring this data to life! Together, we’re shaping a brighter future for women and girls. #WomensFund #DataForChange #CommunityImpact
