About Us
Our chapter started with seven like-minded women who believed in the value of community, and who understood the power of collective impact.​
Driven by determination and a groundswell of support, our first meeting in 2017 drew over 100 women and raised more than $10,000 for a chosen charity in just a single hour.
Our membership has grown to 200+ women, with donations close to $90,000 per year to fund the essential work of four local charities.
1.EDUCATE
Develop a deeper understanding of the prevalent needs within our communities and the charities who are responding to these needs through service and support.
2. IMPACT
By nominating, voting and donating as a collective of women, we strengthen the financial value and impact of our donations to fund meaningful projects within our communities.
3. BUILD
Make space for connection among women who care deeply about their communities and who are committed to joining together to empower, inspire, learn and to give financially, with an open heart and gratitude.
Our Goals
Empowering Women. Strengthening Communities

In March 2023 we asked members within our chapter of 100+ Women Who Care to "describe in one word, how it feels for you personally to be part of this group and to know the difference we are making for good in our community". Here are the responses. The larger the word, the greater number of times that feeling was mentioned by several members.
We are proud that our initiative generated enough interest in our community for a chapter of 100 Men Who Care to launch in January 2018 - www.100menwhocaresgb.ca
