Women's Leadership Giving celebrates the "Power of the Purse"
Ellen Sherberg, publisher of the St. Louis Business Journal, founded the Women’s Leadership Giving Initiative in 1996 to encourage and recognize women who make leadership gifts of $1,000 or more to the United Way of Greater St. Louis.
The Initiative’s “Power of the Purse” theme reflects the reality that women in our community have a strong impact on economic and quality-of-life issues. Every year, more women join the Initiative because they understand The Power of the Purse — and how their power can help others. Since its establishment, the Women’s Leadership Giving Initiative has raised nearly $35 million.
Thank you to all the women who have made this Initiative a success and to our previous chairs for their dedication to the “Power of the Purse.”
