Why Power of the Purse?
Because a purse carries more than personal items—it carries power, independence, security, and strength.

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.

[Women's Fund of the Blue Ridge @WFBlueRidge]

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.
