About Women United Flagler

Women United Flagler is an affinity group of the Community Foundation and United Way of Volusia-Flagler Counties. The group is focused on creating local impact through philanthropy and volunteerism. Since its founding, the annual Power of the Purse luncheon has served as the group’s signature fundraising event, now entering its 17th year.

Where the Money Goes

Proceeds from the event support Flagler County community initiatives through two channels.
