The Idea



Welcome to 100 Women Who Care, Ventura County!

We are a group of women combining our resources to make a BIG impact in Ventura County.


We come from all walks of life and diverse backgrounds. Why join us?

  • You believe women working together can achieve just about anything!
  • You want to be a part of making a difference, but you could use some help deciding where and how to contribute.
  • You want to know how the dollars you give are used to meet REAL needs for REAL people in meaningful ways.
  • Your time is precious. Having the core team vet projects and narrow down options seems perfect.
  • You want to be a part of an extraordinary group of women who make immediate, direct and positive impact in Ventura County.

Join our giving circle and help make a difference!



Nominating Projects



ANY MEMBER can nominate.


Project/program nominations may be sent to 100WomenVC@gmail.com at any time. Not all nominations progress to candidacy, but every suggestion is considered - more is better!


The basic criteria include:


• Programs or projects addressing an otherwise unmet or under-met need for people in Ventura County.

​

• Funding needs for start-to-finish programs or projects that may be completed by the next quarterly meeting.


• 501(c)(3) designated charitable organization


• May not be overtly religious or political


• Must agree NOT to add 100WWC members to mailing lists or share member contact information with any other organization.



Meetings



Since the pandemic we have not gathered in person but hope to add hybrid and/or in-person options later this year. It is so much fun to gather together for a glass of wine or a slice of pie and hear both about new nominees and get a report from the program selected in the previous quarter.


Meanwhile, we have adopted a vote-by-email approach. A summary of 2-3 candidates is emailed to the group quarterly (January, April, July, and October). Members who are committed to writing a check - regardless of which candidate is selected - may vote once. Votes are accepted for two weeks. The votes are tallied and the winner is announced via email to all members.


Please be prepared to write a check for $100 written directly to the organization selected and mail to the address below. 100 WWC does not handle any money. When all the checks are gathered, a group of women (all are welcome) present all of the checks together. Our goal is to present at least 100 checks for $100 dollars each = $10,000.00
