CEO has provided countless financial resources and reporting to women nationwide
Friend,
As we approach the end of the year, I wanted to personally reach out to provide an update on the work from Independent Women’s Forum’s Center for Economic Opportunity — the CEO. I’m incredibly thankful to be at the helm of this center and our work has never been more critical to address problems, amplify the avoidable harms to people and their loved ones, and identify and advance solutions that actually help.

The work below can not be possible without the support of our supporters like you. When closing out all of your year-end philanthropic giving, I hope IWF and the work of CEO is on your list. Any amount you give before December 31 will be matched dollar for dollar by one of our generous investors. Click here to send your tax-deductible gift. ([link removed])

No doubt has 2023 been a roller coaster ride for so many households. Inflation on everyday essentials has receded from last year’s 40-year-high but prices still remain unaffordable.

Too many Americans are stressed over their finances. Women express greater stress than men.

Low unemployment is not much consolation when inflation outpaces your paycheck. Pandemic savings are spent down. Credit card debt just hit new highs. Americans are raiding their retirement accounts just to maintain their quality of life.

Mortgage rates lock out young first-time homebuyers. So many Americans feel like their American Dream is out of reach.

Pessimism is everywhere–but not at IWF.

Through our Center for Economic Opportunity, we are turning gloom and doom into optimism and opportunity.

We:
* Highlight the policy changes that can expand opportunities for women
* Offer reforms to make the government more effective, efficient, and responsive to the needs of Americans
* Expose the well-intentioned but ill-advised policies that work against American households
* Fight the regulatory creep in Washington that seeks to snuff out the entrepreneurial spirit.

Our impact:
* Congressional Testimony: 5
* Media Mentions: 1000+ (broadcast, print, and online) outlets across the country
* Op-eds: 50+
* Radio & Podcast Interviews: 166
* Speaking Engagements: Dozens
* Blogs: 150+

2024 will be a big year as Americans choose between two visions for the future and dueling approaches to achieving them. The work of IWF’s CEO will be as important as ever in providing women a policy roadmap forward. That’s why we need supporters like you, Friend.
