The Woman’s Exchange is a self-sustaining, debt free organization of vital importance to the community. Through the consignment operation, which consists of more than 200 volunteers and 5,000 consignors, the Woman’s Exchange has awarded a total of more than $7 million in grants and scholarships to support the Arts of Sarasota and Manatee counties. During the 2011-2012 fiscal year, the Woman's Exchange sold a total of 118,000 plus used items. Not only does the Woman's Exchange do its part in keeping local landfills full of debris, it also paid out roughly $1.7 million (fiscal year) to consigners, further strengthening the local economy.
Woman's Exchange Inc. became a Sarasota County Green Business Partner in 2012. The Green Business Partnership (GBP) encourages environmental stewardship in the commercial sector, and recognizes businesses that make an extra effort to operate in an environmentally responsible manner. This collaborative effort includes businesses, business organizations and local governments. The GBP was initiated through a grant awarded by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection to Sarasota County.
