Why Power of the Purse?
Because a purse carries more than personal items—it carries power, independence, security, and strength.
Join us June 26 for a day that celebrates resilience and fuels lasting change.

On World Health Day, we’re reminded that health is more than healthcare; it’s access, equity, and the power to thrive.
At WFBR, we’re committed to helping women and girls rise with resilience and the resources they need to flourish.
Power of the Purse is about more than raising money—it's about raising voices, visibility, and possibility.
Be part of something powerful on June 26.
