This was the first time The Women’s Fund partnered with Forsyth Futures, and we are grateful for their work on this report. Forsyth Futures gathered the data, provided context for various datapoints, and created the entire microsite. We thank them for their incredible partnership on this project.

The report would not have been the same without the help of several individuals who provided input on the data, writing and design of the microsite. Thank you to the following individuals who shared their professional and personal expertise to help inform this report, analyze our findings, and provide feedback.
