Join Sarasota Magazine for an engaging evening of dialogue and discovery as we explore the evolving landscape of giving in our community.

Hosted at the stunning St. Regis Longboat Key Resort, Powered By Philanthropy brings together donors, nonprofit leaders, and community champions for meaningful conversations about the future of philanthropy in our region.

Rather than a formal gala or award-style event, this is an intimate gathering designed to connect people who care deeply about Sarasota’s future—those who give, lead, and inspire others to act. Together, we’ll look at how philanthropy is changing, how organizations are adapting, and what it means to give with purpose today.
