Inspiring Women to harness the power of money for good. That’s our tagline. Well, good for what? Good for the individual, good for her family, and good for her community. Yes good for all. Today's guest knows a lot of about using the power of money for the good of the community, after all she is the President and CEO of the Community Foundation of Sarasota County and has been since March of 2011. She is Roxie Jerde and she has made a significant impact to the Sarasota community.

Roxie works closely with (1) Community Foundation donors, (2) all the area nonprofits (which I think we have an unusually large number of them), and businesses and foundations, to solve the important issues affecting our community.

Under her leadership, she has served as the quintessential Money Matriarch, inspiring the community at large (including women) to harness money for good and philanthropy across our region.

Some will recognize her hand prints all over initiatives such as The Giving Partner, and the Giving Challenge, which has raised $92 million for local causes over nine challenges hosted over this past decade. Roxie oversee, the Season of Sharing, the Campaign for Grade Level Reading and EdExploreSRQ, and the Suncoast Disaster Recovery Fund and her commitment to philanthropy goes even further where she has held volunteer leadership roles with the Community Foundations of Florida, Philanthropy Southeast and has received numerous leadership awards.

She is a Money Matriarch to be proud of, inspired by and emulated for her financial wisdom, leadership and overall desire to do good. We think you will enjoy hearing about her story.
