Powered by Philanthropy at the St. Regis Longboat Key
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.
What to Expect:
- Conversation and Connection – Network with fellow philanthropists, nonprofit executives, and civic leaders in an elegant, relaxed setting over light bites and beverages.
- Exclusive Experience – Begin the evening with a private tour of the St. Regis property, including a look inside the resort’s newest suites named after notable female philanthropists.
- Panel Discussion – Moderated by Julia Groom, this dynamic conversation will feature local philanthropic individuals and nonprofit leaders sharing insights on the bigger picture of giving in our region, how community foundations are adapting to community shifts, supporting nonprofits, and engaging donors in meaningful, impactful philanthropy.
- Nonprofit Showcase – Learn more about the organizations driving purposeful change and discover new ways to get involved.
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.
