At Power of the Purse, we’re passionate about making an impact in our community, and we believe philanthropy should be as enjoyable as it is meaningful. Our events bring together like-minded women to support local causes while building lasting connections. We host four major events each year, all designed to celebrate, learn, and give back.
Note: Non-members may attend one event every three years as a visitor. If you've attended an event in the last three years but haven't become a member yet, please make sure to signup as a member.
We invite you to be a purse sponsor for our Power of the Purse quarterly gatherings. At each event, we raffle off six or more designer purses to help with our fundraising. Click for more information.

Members get an inside look at the incredible organizations and causes applying for grants and vote for their top three choices. This is a great opportunity to engage, ask questions, and learn more about where our funds make the biggest impact.

This event is all about hearing directly from the three grant finalists. Each organization presents their mission, goals, and how our funding would support their cause.
We celebrate our collective impact by announcing the winning organization and awarding the grant. A true celebration of women’s philanthropy!
