Closing the Gap - Where Education Meets Economic Equality
Summit Project Mission
Nevada Women’s Fund is dedicated to advancing wage parity and workplace equality.

Each year, Nevada Women's Fund Board of Directors commits significant resources to initiatives that foster career development, professional growth, and equitable workforce participation for women. By targeting these areas, Nevada Women's Fund strives to close the gap between educational attainment and economic equality, enabling women to achieve their full potential and participate in the workforce on an equal footing with their male counterparts.
