For 34 years, CFWL has been committed to improving the community we live in. We focus on three key areas.

Charitable Granting
Each year, CFWL members submit charity recommendations to our Charitable Granting Committee. Once vetted, the Committee visits the selected charities to learn more about their mission and needs. Due to the amazing synergy of CFWL and its members, we have awarded more than 100 grants totaling over $3 million. Scholarships
Annually, CFWL awards up to 10 young women with funding to assist with college expenses. Student eligibility is determined based upon academic achievement, financial need and community involvement. We have awarded scholarships to over
200 students, for a total of $560,000. Community Service
We support our community through service and compassion funding. We partner with charities that have previously received funding from us to work on service projects.

Honoring Our Founder, Jeanne Fortier

It is with profound sadness that we share the passing of our founder, Jeanne Fortier.

Jeanne's vision was simple but powerful: to bring women together to make a meaningful difference in the Central Florida community. That vision became the Central Florida Women's League, and for decades her leadership and generosity have inspired countless women to serve, give back, and create lasting change.

Because of Jeanne's legacy, scholarships have opened doors for students, charitable organizations have received vital support, and lifelong friendships have been formed through a shared commitment to helping others.

Her impact extends far beyond what she built - it lives on in every member who continues the mission she began.

We extend our heartfelt condolences to Jeanne's sons, Gregory, Kevin, and Brian, their families, and all who were fortunate enough to know and love her.

In lieu of flowers, Jeanne's family has requested that memorial donations be made to the Central Florida Women's League, continuing the charitable mission that meant so much to her, the link for donation can be found in the comments.

Thank you, Jeanne, for your vision, your generosity, and the legacy that will continue to shape our community for generations to come.

With gratitude,
The Central Florida Women's League

One of the most powerful moments of Power of the Purse came when Sara Meyers of Eight Waves took the stage.

Sara shared how the Central Florida Women’s League grant made an impact for Eight Waves and our community. Eight Waves works in under-resourced neighborhoods to support children, youth, and families — building the healthy support systems they need to thrive and empowering them to create lasting change in their own lives.

She ended with a story that left tears in the eyes of nearly everyone in the room — a reminder that the work we do together truly changes lives.

Moments like this remind us why the Central Florida Women’s League comes together each year: to create real impact for our community and the next generation.

While Power of the Purse is a wonderful day to gather, it’s also so much more. Every dollar raised supports Charitable Grants and Scholarships that benefit organizations and students right here in Central Florida.

A special thank you to our generous sponsors, including South Park Dental Group and Lindora Windermere, for helping make this meaningful event possible.

And thank you to our talented photographer Chris Gillyard for capturing the energy and joy of the day so beautifully.

We’re so grateful to everyone who celebrated with us and helped create real impact. 💛
