How it works
We meet for a couple of hours, four times a year, and each member brings a check for $100.
1. Every member can nominate local charities, non-profits, or worthy causes.
2. The nominees are vetted ahead of time and invited to present at the next meeting.
3. The nominated charities makes a 5-minute presentation about each cause
4. We all vote on which cause to support.
5. The top vote-getting charity then receives all the checks, made out to them.
On each of four nights during the year, these 100 Women Who Care give up to $10,000 to a local charity, non-profit, or worthy cause, right here in the Lake County County community. It’s fast, simple, and amazingly effective. We invite you to attend any time as a guest to see how it works and decide if the group is right for you.

A few simple rules:
- We each donate $100 per meeting (That comes out to just over $1 a day each year).
- Each of the three charities selected ahead of time will be given 5 minutes to make a presentation at the meeting.
- If you are unable to attend any given meeting during the year, please give your check to a member to deliver on your behalf, or mail your $100 check made out to the selected charity to 100 Women Strong in Lake County, address TBD.
- By ballot, the group will vote, and the majority rules. Even if you don’t care for the choice, you still must donate. All checks go to one charity.
- No national charities will be considered, however, local branches of national charities are eligible for consideration. The purpose is for 100% of the contribution to stay in Lake County.
- Only three charities will be presented at each meeting.
- The organization must agree NOT to use the names for future solicitations, nor give the information out to the public.
- A year after being selected by the group, charities can re-submit their names for consideration.
