Women Who Give: The Power of Women in Philanthropy
Lois Buntz
Thursday, July 17, 2025
5:30 - 6:30 PM
Quad Cities Community Foundation
Lois Buntz will share a one-hour workshop for women who are passionate about making a difference through the transformative, community-shaping power of philanthropy.
Women have always been a force for good—giving more often, giving more generously, and with purpose. In this engaging workshop with author and philanthropy expert Lois Buntz, women will discover the unique motivations behind women’s giving and how it’s shaping the future of nonprofits.
You'll leave this free workshop with strategies to elevate your own giving, and renewed clarity about the causes that matter most to you. Refreshments and connection time will follow the session.
