Join Us and the Region’s Top Changemakers for 'Powered by Philanthropy' at the St. Regis Longboat Key

On Thursday, Oct. 23, 2025, Powered by Philanthropy will celebrate our region’s signature spirit of giving.

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.

Together, we’ll look at how philanthropy is changing, how organizations are adapting, and what it means to give with purpose today.
