Women United Speaker Series: Purse Power: How Women’s Philanthropy Can Change the World

December 4 | 11am - 12pm

The womens' philanthropy movement has been gaining momentum for more than twenty- five years. Today, women control 32% of the world's wealth and are expected to hold $30 trillion in financial assets by 2030. Based on five years of research and interviews with 70 women philanthropists, Ms. Buntz will discuss how women give differently than men and how women's wealth capacity, interests, and leadership will create new trends and ultimately change the future of philanthropy!
