Blueprint Report

The Fund’s Blueprint Report is the first and only comprehensive needs assessment of women and girls in Chester County. Published every five years, the Blueprint Report highlights pressing issues facing women and girls at the local, state, and national levels, with a deep dive on conditions in Chester County.  

The Fund’s Fourth Blueprint Report: Lighting a Path, published in 2022, provides critical data to identify areas of progress for women and girls and indicates where additional improvements are still needed. It presents data points across eight key areas: Employment and Earnings; Work and Family; Educational Disparities; Poverty and Opportunity; Reproductive Rights; Health and Well-Being; Violence and Safety; and Political Participation. The Report underscores progress, challenges, and areas for improvement, with clear action steps for the community on ways to ignite change. This data is used for fundraising material, case statements, program and staffing planning, community action, policymaking, and more by nonprofits and government agencies.
