Hi there!

A group of women have gotten together on the coast to start an organization called 100+ Women Who Care Coastside.

This is a way to pool money to make a big impact on a coastside nonprofit.

How does it work?

Each member contributes $100 4x a year.

We select three non-profits, they come and speak to our group and the group votes on who gets funds for that quarter. (The one voted highest gets 90% and the other two get 5% each of the pooled money).

This is a great way to learn about the great work the nonprofits are doing on the coast, make new friends and make an impact in our community. (Nonprofits are nominated by members and are pulled from a hat).

The group is not a non-profit but uses a platform called Grapevine that registers our members, takes payment and distributes directly to the non profit. They even send you a donation letter for tax purposes.

All our money goes directly to our nonprofits!

If you are interested, feel free to check out the website at www.100wwcc.org

All new members who sign up before our March 14th meeting will have their donations matched… we would love to have you and you could make a double impact!

Thanks!

100+ Women Who Care Coastside is a women’s collective giving group.

At 4 meetings each year, members contribute $100 toward a collective gift, and the recipient organization is decided by the members’ vote.

There are currently hundreds of chapters of 100+ Women Who Care groups operating around the country making a difference in hundreds of communities. 100+WWC Coastside is focused on philanthropic support for registered 501(c)3 nonprofit organizations on the Coastside, from Montara to Pescadero.

Your membership requires a limited time commitment – four meetings a year. Each meeting will include three 15-minute presentations from pre-nominated nonprofit organizations on the Coast. Members then vote on their choice and the gifts are awarded that same evening.

1. Each member commits to making a $100* gift before each meeting via our Grapevine platform.
2. We will then vote on the recipient at our meeting.
3. If we have 100 women, we’ve just made a collective gift of $10,000!

We care about our community and want to make a difference.

The Coastside is a generous and community-oriented place to call home, and there are dozens of nonprofit organizations doing incredible work to serve and enrich our lives on the Coast.

By bringing local women together and providing the opportunity to learn more about the organizations that serve us, 100+WWC Coastside helps women become connected, empowered, and enabled to make a difference in our community!

The 100+ Women Who Care model for women’s collective giving was born from one woman’s realization that many small gifts can add up to one big impact.

100 Women Who Care Coastside is open to any women on the Coastside, of all ages, ethnicities, orientations, and backgrounds, who are interested in contributing grassroots support to the many nonprofit organizations serving our Coastside community.
