How does it work?

We meet for one hour, four times a year, and each member donates $100.

The group gathers four times a year for a one-hour meeting, and each member brings their donation of $100 that goes to the charity that the group selects. This combined donation of $10,000 makes a real impact, without time-consuming fundraising events and planning.

• You do not need to nominate a charity but each member can nominate one charity prior to each quarterly meeting.
• One week prior to each meeting, nominations are put into a hat.
• Three names are drawn from the hat.
• The three charities pulled from the hat are invited to send a representative to the meeting.
• Each of the three charities makes a 5-minute presentation about their cause at the meeting to all assembled registered members.
• All members vote on which cause to support immediately after the presentations.
• Votes are counted right there and then and the charity with the most votes is announced at the meeting.
• All donations are collected at the meeting and the total donation is announced.

The top vote-getting charity then receives all the checks, made out to them on the spot!

On each of four nights during the year, the 100 Women Who Care give $10,000 to a local charity. It’s fast, simple, and effective.

This giving circle has no bank account, we are not a registered company, we have a small volunteer organizing committee and rely on the registered members to support the group as a whole and offer help as needed to ensure meetings are run successfully. The simplicity and collaborative nature of the 100 Women Who Care movement is what makes it so successful.
