“Every year, we see more worthy projects than we have funds to support — and that’s where local women can truly make a difference,” said Kim Jones, President of the Community Foundation of West Georgia. “When you become a member of POP, you’re helping us say ‘yes’ to more organizations. The more people we have working together, the more money we have to grant out next year.”
Power of the Purse is a giving circle of women who pool their resources to support programs that lift up women and children in West Georgia.
