of Greater Portland’s Women’s Philanthropy Committee as we gather for a gratifying, introspective evening, discovering the impact we have on each other’s lives. Enjoy tasty delectables and mingle with friends. Kosher dietary laws observed.

The Women’s Philanthropy Committee provides a place in the Portland Jewish community for all women to come together to promote, enhance and celebrate Jewish life. Women’s Philanthropy is committed to building a Jewish community that is both welcoming and engaging and demonstrates the impact a woman makes by having her voice heard. By perpetuating the ideals and values of Jewish heritage and tradition, and by providing opportunities through programming and leadership development, Women’s Philanthropy strives to have all women more deeply understand the significance of their philanthropic decisions.  Learn more
