Throughout history, passionate individuals have joined together to make life better in their communities. Today, 100 Women Charitable Foundation is a growing community of more than 400 women who are committed to improving the lives of the disadvantaged in the Santa Clara and San Mateo Counties by combining our financial resources and making large-scale grants a reality.
Our philosophy is simple, but powerful.
We are a small, yet highly effective foundation committed to inspiring, educating, and increasing the number of women involved in philanthropy in an effort to strengthen our community. We do this by providing funds and assistance to organizations involved in helping solve social issues that are important to women.
During the past three years we have successfully engaged hundreds of women to take a more active role in local philanthropy by believing that a dedicated group of women can join together, without a significant time commitment, to make a serious difference in the lives of those in need.
We are a recognized, tax-exempt organization that pools members' donations to award major-size grants to local non-profits that support our community in the areas of Education, Family (women and children); or Health & Wellness.
100 Women Charitable Foundation brings together new donors and new dollars each year offering additional, and non-traditional resources to our community.
Our mission is to provide access for more women to be involved in local philanthropy, raise awareness of the unmet needs of nonprofits serving the Santa Clara and San Mateo Counties, inspire Members to become more involved with these charities, and to make a significant difference in the long-term sustainability of our local nonprofit community.
Founded in 2006 by four local Bay Area women, 100 Women Charitable Foundation initially recruited 145 women donating more than $30,000.
In our second and third years of operation 100 Women grew to more than 480 members, and raised a combined total of $175,000; and in our most recent membership and grant giving year our membership raised another l $126,000, bringing our total giving to over $300,000 in a few short years.
In the four years since its founding, 100 Women Charitable Foundation has given over $300,000 in grants to Bay Area non-profit organizations serving the Santa Clara and San Mateo Counties, and we're on track to raise over $100,000 again in 2011 which will be given away in March of 2012.
