100+ Women Who Care is a group of women who gather four times a year for a one-hour meeting, learn about local charities, and donate $100.00 to a charity the group selects. This combined donation of a potential $10,000 makes a real impact, without time-consuming fundraising events and planning. Our goal is for our 100+ Women Who Care giving circle to help those in greatest need in South Snohomish County. For as much as we may like to serve, we also recognize time is at a premium for many. By gathering only a few times a year, we're able to make the most of each member's time, and acknowledge that we have other many commitments as well.
Quarterly, the participants of each meeting will submit the name of one organization per $100.00 donation. You may also form teams of two (or more) individuals to make a combined $100.00 donation with a team constituting one vote (e.g., a two person team members would donate $50.00/person, a four person team would donate $25.00/person, etc.). Checks are written directly to the organization receiving your check; you can also make payments to those organizations online if they are set up to receive those. We ask that if you submit your donation outside of our regular meeting night, that you simply drop us a note so we know the payment has been made. We want to make sure members are given credit for their donations! A shortlist of three organizations will be drawn by the steering committee. These three organizations will then be vetted by Terri Inglis, our Organization Vetting Director. She will provide a letter to each organization requesting information regarding their 503(c)(3) status and how they plan to use the funds. Our steering committee will post the organizations' bio/links on our website for each of three organizations. This will give members an opportunity to research/review the groups that will be voted on one week prior to the next meeting. The names of those organizations will be sent out to members for a vote. |
Each meeting will start over with three new nominees. We will donate to an organization only one time in a three year period.
If there happens to be a local disaster in South Snohomish in which residents require aid, and it is agreed to by a majority vote at the current meeting, we can instead choose to assist victims of that disaster rather than choosing an organization from three nominees. We can alter or change this process for one time only during a single year. For example, if a natural disaster incident were to occur in the South Snohomish County area, funds for our next meeting can be diverted to a reliable aid resource, e.g., the Red Cross, Snohomish County Search and Rescue, etc. |
Upcoming Meeting Dates
Because of Covid, we will continue to conduct our voting for our non-profits via email. As soon as we're able to return to our quarterly meetings, we'll notify you of the location! We have missed meeting with our members and look forward to catching up soon!
In addition to each member's $100.00 pledge, optional donations for items will also be accepted at our meetings. If you have any ideas for these items, please let us know. In the past we've accepted school supplies, food bank contributions, pet supplies, and toys for kids. It's just one more way we can make an impact on our communities!
