On August 25, 2010 {WE} DONATED our first 10 handbags filled with 16 daily hygiene products. 

We are celebrating 11 years of creating a Purse with Purpose! That's 11 years of offering justice and delivering practical kindness through 836 HANDBAGS crafted by artisans in our global communities, and filled with 10,868 PRACTICAL ITEMS donated to women experiencing homelessness or escaping domestic violence in SW Colorado. With celebration, we currently donate 140 handbags annually to four local nonprofit recipients. 

We are hosting our celebratory BIRTHDAY CAMPAIGN with the goal to fund our Monthly Handbag Program. You’re invited to partner with Power to Act and become a MONTHLY PURSE SPONSOR, which will allow us to encourage women locally and empower women globally with each Purse with Purpose YOU create. It is our desire to confidently continue to donate a Purse with Purpose, a handcrafted, needs-based handbag that meets the basic physical needs of vulnerable women both locally and globally. It is our belief that when basic needs are met dignity is restored!  

CELEBRATE WITH {US}
Join the CELEBRATION on August 25-31

The need is rising and this year we intend to sponsor 15 HANDBAGS! We have upped the monthly ante to benefit more deserving women both locally and globally, and support a greater number of local nonprofit recipients. 

Celebrate with us and become a *MONTHLY PURSE SPONSOR, creating a Purse with Purpose. We assure you that 100% of your sponsorship will be utilized for this purpose. It is our goal to  raise $570 monthly {$6,840 annually} to fund our Monthly Handbag Program. 
FULL Purse with Purpose = $38/month
HALF Purse with Purpose = $19/month
1/3 Purse with Purpose = $12.50/month
​
With each $38 SPONSORSHIP one deserving woman facing homelessness or domestic violence will receive a beautiful handcrafted handbag which is  filled with 10-17 items that meet her basic physical needs.   

This is not a static sponsorship, meaning you will join a community purposed to walk out justice and kindness. Our desire is to connect you as a SPONSOR to the handbag you create. You will receive a monthly report sharing where your Purse with Purpose was donated and how it blessed the woman recipient.  

​For a little history, we donated our first 10 handbags filled with 16 daily hygiene products on August 25, 2010 to the Durango Community Shelter and the Southwest Safehouse. We have been donating a Purse with Purpose ever since! We started faithfully donating 10 handbags bi-monthly, and since establishing our nonprofit in December 2016 we now donate an average of 10 handbags monthly to four different nonprofit recipients in SW Colorado.

*Once you enter your card information your monthly sponsorship will be processed each month automatically. You will have full capability to alter, skip, or stop a payment if required. Your sponsorship today is for one annual year, this monthly contribution will not renew without explicit permission.
