On Thursday, October 23, Sarasota Magazine is gathering the region’s most impactful changemakers, philanthropists, nonprofit leaders, civic champions, volunteers and donors for an interactive celebration of generosity and purpose. This is not just a networking event, it’s a roadmap for how we can all give better, smarter and together.

Aimed at supporting & furthering our region’s strong culture of giving, Powered by Philanthropy is this year’s premiere event connecting local donors and philanthropists with the organizations, initiatives and changemakers on the front lines of meaningful community enrichment.

Blending insights to strategic giving with moving stories of the power of generosity, guests will leave the evening feeling more inspired, more informed and more connected to the future of our community.

Powered by Philanthropy is set to be an elegant and inspiring evening at the St. Regis, featuring:

• An evening of light bites, beverages, networking and insights—all in celebration of the year’s most impactful gifts, givers and community initiatives
• Opportunities for exclusive tours of the St. Regis property & the resort’s newest suites, named after notable female philanthropists 
• Moments for discovering, connecting with and learning ways to support the nonprofits driving purposeful change in our own communities
• A signature panel featuring leaders from Charlotte Community Foundation, the Community Foundation of Sarasota County, Gulf Coast Community Foundation and Manatee Community Foundation on the current and future state of strategic philanthropy in our region

Whether you’re a seasoned philanthropist or new to giving, a community champion, established nonprofit, or young changemaker looking to network, Powered by Philanthropy will inspire and empower you to drive purpose and positive impact at any scale.
