The Power of She is a three-month collective giving experience for women in Kirkland who want to connect, learn about local needs, and make a meaningful impact together.
Participants gather once a month at Lady Yum to build community, explore Kirkland’s areas of impact, and pool monthly donations that will be collectively awarded to one high-impact local project at the end of the experience.
Each gathering includes guided conversation, shared learning, and a welcoming atmosphere — complete with a glass of bubbly and a signature Lady Yum macaroon.
By the end of March, the group will award up to $10,000 to a Kirkland-based project selected by the circle.
Hosted by the Kirkland Community Foundation Special thanks to Lady Yum, host and woman-owned business partner.
