The power of 100+ women, united for local good.

100 Women Who Care,
Washington County,
Vermont

We are a “giving circle,” and our mission is to make a significant impact on 501c3 nonprofit organizations in Washington County through collective giving. We have partnered with Grapevine.org to manage membership and payment.

How It Works

We use a simple four-step process:1. Join on Grapevine and commit to donating $100 four times a year.2. Nominate a Charity
Members submit names of local non-profits with a 501c3 designation that deserve support.
3. Listen and Vote
We gather for one hour, hear about three final charities, and cast a secret ballot.
4. Watch the Impact
The winning charity will receive 100% of the collective funds.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I split a membership or join as a team?Yes! We welcome 'Team Memberships' (e.g., two or four friends splitting the cost). You will share the quarterly donation obligation, but please note that each Team Membership receives only one collective vote per cycle.What happens if I miss a quarterly meeting?Because we use Grapevine, missing a meeting is never an issue. If you set up automatic recurring donations, your funds are safely processed even if you can't attend. You can still review the nominated charities and cast your ballot online directly through our group page.How are the three final charities chosen to present?Every eligible 501c3 nominated by our members is placed into a pool. Prior to the meeting, three organizations are randomly drawn from the pool. The members who nominated those specific charities are then invited to give a brief, 5-minute presentation on why they deserve our supportCan I come or bring a friend to a meeting before committing to join?Absolutely! We love guests. Anyone is welcome to attend a meeting to experience the 'power of collective giving' firsthand. Guests are invited to listen to the presentations, but they cannot nominate a charity or vote until they officially join our circle on Grapevine.
