「黄金州基金」提议设立：加州第一伴侣西贝尔·纽森主持任内最后一届性别平等峰会，发布妇女财富路线图
位于美国加利福尼亚州首府萨克拉门托的州长办公室10月30日发布消息，第一伴侣詹妮弗·西贝尔·纽森（Jennifer Siebel Newsom）与加州伙伴项目（California Partners Project）合作，主持了她任内第四届、也是最后一届性别平等峰会，聚焦缩小妇女财富差距，以及经济流动性与妇女健康、安全之间的联系；峰会上发布了加州妇女财富顾问委员会的路线图，以扩大妇女获得资本的渠道。
「当妇女拥有积累财富的资源与机会时，她们就有更大的自由去塑造自己的未来、照顾家庭，并投资于自身的健康与福祉。」西贝尔·纽森说，「四年来，这场峰会把加州人聚在一起推进这一愿景。在这一篇章落幕之际，我希望这份路线图成为对这项工作的长久承诺。」州长加文·纽森表示，加州致力于建设一个每位女性都有机会繁荣发展的经济体，西贝尔·纽森的领导对推进性别平等、提升妇女的经济机会、健康与福祉至关重要。
路线图名为《在加州建设妇女财富：行动路线图》（Building Women's Wealth in California: A Roadmap for Action），是妇女财富顾问委员会过去一年工作的成果。建议包括：提议设立由私营部门主导、聚焦加州福祉关键行业高绩效企业的「黄金州基金」（Golden State Fund）；帮助加州社区基金会提供更多可定向支持妇女与妇女主导倡议的捐赠人建议基金；维护全州资源中心并把「加州创新展示」办成年度活动，连接创始人与投资者、客户及州资源；让 CalKIDS 账户更易被家庭使用，并创造慈善与雇主共同出资的新方式；以及整合、改进州政府已资助的储蓄、金融教育与小企业项目。
峰会背景数据显示，妇女目前拥有加州近40%的企业，2019年至2023年间贡献约5,800亿美元收入；但妇女获得的风险投资仍只占一小部分，在资产管理领域的代表性不足，所占企业与家庭财富份额也较小。性别平等峰会自2023年起举办，历年主题依次为「妇女、财富与权力」「健康与安全」「科技与福祉」与今年的「妇女财富与福祉」。州长办公室介绍，纽森今年3月还曾发布行政令，扩大妇女及其家庭积累财富、全面参与加州经济的机会。
A 'Golden State Fund' Proposed: California First Partner Jennifer Siebel Newsom Hosts Her Final Gender Equity Summit and Releases a Women's Wealth Roadmap
First Partner Jennifer Siebel Newsom, in collaboration with the California Partners Project, hosted her fourth and final Gender Equity Summit in Sacramento, focused on closing the women's wealth gap and the connection between economic mobility and women's health and safety, the Governor's Office announced on October 30. At the summit she unveiled the California Women's Wealth Advisory Council's roadmap to expand women's access to capital.
"When women have the resources and opportunities to build wealth, they have greater freedom to shape their futures, care for their families, and invest in their health and well-being," Siebel Newsom said. Governor Gavin Newsom said California is committed to building an economy where every woman has the opportunity to thrive, and credited her leadership in advancing gender equity.
The roadmap, Building Women's Wealth in California: A Roadmap for Action, recommends a proposed Golden State Fund led within the private sector; more donor-advised funds at community foundations directed toward women and women-led initiatives; a statewide Resource Hub and an annual California Innovation Showcase connecting founders with investors; easier access to CalKIDS accounts for families; and strengthening existing state savings, financial-education, and small-business programs such as CalKIDS, CalSavers, and CalOSBA.
According to the California Chamber of Commerce figures cited by the Governor's Office, women currently own nearly 40 percent of all businesses in California, adding about $580 billion in revenue between 2019 and 2023, yet women receive only a fraction of venture funding and remain underrepresented in asset management. The annual Gender Equity Summit began in 2023, with themes of Women, Wealth & Power; Health & Safety; Tech & Well-Being; and this year's Women's Wealth & Well-being.
