The following is the third post in a series covering aspects and angles on the DC Women’s Agenda’s recent white paper, Voices and Choices for D.C. Women and Girls: Recommendations for City Leaders 2007.  The D.C. Women’s Agenda promotes the advancement, equality and well-being of women in D.C. This series of blogs is an extension of a very important proposal of recommendations to city leaders to truly make tangible changes in the D.C. metropolitan area.

When The Women’s Foundation writes a check from the Open Door Capacity Building Fund or gives a Leadership Award, it’s an investment in a nonprofit’s future and their potential to positively impact women, girls and our community as a whole.

As part of our ongoing commitment–in partnership with The Urban Institute–to providing information and resources related to the goals of Stepping Stones, please find below summary of recent research on issues of economic security and financial independence for women and their families.

How would you like to feel excited to go to work in the morning?

I’m so fortunate because I can answer affirmatively – knowing that every second of my day is spent to help women and girls thrive and succeed.
