100+ Women Who Care support small, local, grassroots registered charities, foundations and not-for-profits, which operate on a shoestring budget, and are volunteer-driven, with no or limited staff.
We are looking to donate to groups which support the most vulnerable members of our community, groups for whom $10,000 or more will make a tremendous difference.
To be eligible, the organization must have a registration number from the federal government.
All monies must stay and be used locally.
At each meeting, attendees vote to choose the group to be supported at the next meeting.
At 100+ Women Who Care Sault Ste. Marie meetings:
* 100 or more women get together for about one hour;
* each woman or team of women donates $100 (or more);
* all donations go directly to one small, local organization, chosen by the membership.
This can mean $10,000 or more in one hour for one small organization, whose members work hard to help our neighbours, but who may struggle to raise funds.
