Application Procedures

Grant proposals will be accepted between January 1, 2024 to January 31, 2024. We reserve the right to disqualify any proposals arriving after the deadline.

All proposals will be reviewed by a selection committee who will determine up to six finalist organizations (maximum three small and three large; category is determined by annual operating budget) to present at the 100 Women Who Care meeting on March 8, 2024. Applicants will be notified by phone or email if selected as a finalist. Please ensure you provide accurate contact information so that we may reach you if selected.

How it works

Funding

100 Women Who Care accepts proposals from 501 (c)(3) organizations and funds of the Community Foundation in January. Then, a volunteer committee of members reviews and scores proposals to narrow down the nonprofits to three finalists in each category: small and large.

During our annual awards luncheon, each organization pitches their mission and program to members. After all groups have presented, 100 Women Who Care donors will vote to determine the grant winners in both the small and large categories.
