Women’s Partnership Funds
» Women in Clark County have lower average earnings than men in the community.
» Half of female head-of-household families with children under 5 are in poverty.
» Half of all Clark County pregnancies are to unwed mothers.
» When women struggle with these issues, children, families and communities suffer.
