About Us

100 Women Who Care is a group of women who share a common desire to give back and inspire local philanthropy in their community. The group is open to all women — the more women who get involved, the greater our impact will be!

Since 2014 we have donated close to $150,000 to local charities in the South Okanagan Similkameen!

How it works

• Meet 4 times a year
• One-time $100 commitment fee to the 100 Women Who Care Endowment Fund
• Commit to donating $50 each meeting ($200 total for the year)
• Members get to nominate a charity
• Hear from 3 charities- then vote
• 2 runner-up charities each get $500
• Charity with most votes gets the remaining share (Average is about $5,000)

Choosing an organization:

• Must be a registered charity from South Okanagan
• Members nominate a charity via email
• 3 charities are randomly drawn before the event
• 5 min presentation at the event
• Talk about what they will do with the money
• How it will benefit their project or program

100 Women Who Care Endowment Fund

For every member who joins the 100 Women Who Care initiative they will commit by making a $100 donation to the 100 Women Who Care Endowment Fund which will be used to address future needs in the community.
