The Full Circle of Women & Girls

In The Full Circle of Women and Girls in Fairfield County, the Fairfield County Community Foundation’s Fund for Women and Girls reviews the diverse challenges faced by women and girls in our communities. In Fairfield County, more than 40% of households are headed by women – including 12% headed by single mothers. While the cost of living for a mother of two can easily exceed $80,000, the median salary of a woman with a Bachelor’s degree is just $47,230.
