How It Works

Who We Are:

Each member agrees to donate $100, twice a year, to guide our vision of nonprofit support. We’d love to have you join our group!

How We Work:

At our bi-annual meetings, members are encouraged to submit the names of any non-profit organization in Washtenaw County.  Three organizations are selected at random. The three members who submitted the names of the organizations each have a five-minute window to tell the membership why they think the organization they recommended should receive the financial support of 100+ Women Who Care. Once all three members have spoken, the group then votes by ballot to choose the recipient.
