100 Women Who Care was started in November 2006 by Karen Dunigan of Jackson, Michigan, as a brilliantly simply way to raise money local charities. At their first meeting, 100 women raised $10,000 to buy 300 new cribs for an organisation in their city. Since then, they have grown to over 200 Members and there are 900 100 Women Who Care chapters established or forming worldwide.ext goes here
We try to keep the meetings to an hour. Members are welcomed at the venue, and the agenda typically follows this format:
Introductory remarks
Presentation from the charity awarded the major donation at the last meeting
Brief 3 minute presentation from each of the three nominated charities followed by a brief Q&A
A special guest speaker
Reminder of how to vote and thank yous
Member voting will take place once the meeting is over.
The charity with the most votes will be communicated to the members through email and social media 3-4 days after the event.
You sure can! Joining with a Team allows you to split the cost and time commitment, while creating community with coworkers, friends, and like-minded peers.
To sign up as a Team, each Member must complete a Membership Commitment Form. Teams may be comprised of 2-4 people.
As a Team, you are allowed just one vote at each event, but everyone is welcome to attend. Teams are also welcome to fill out our Charity Nomination Form.

Absolutely! Donations are issued directly to the charity and only registered charitable organisations will be sponsored by the group. In the event that two charities receive the donations on a given night, regardless of who you voted for, you will receive a tax donation from one of the charities. Tax receipts will be issued directly from the charity to the donor. Charities are legally responsible for issuing receipts by February each year.
Not a problem. Send your donation by e-transfer to TorontoWest100@gmail.com (password not required).
Our goal is to make a large donation on behalf of the whole group, thusly, the answer is no. We want to be able to support this endeavor and give a single group donation to make a large impact in our community, with each Member contributing to the larger donation. This is the power of individuals united for a cause! We also need to be able to track your donations so that you get credit for the donation and remain an active, voting-eligible Member of the group.
None of it! 100 Women Who Care Toronto West is organized and operated by a volunteer team. Everything else has been given to us by generous donors in our community. 100% of the money raised at our meetings goes directly to the selected charity.
Meetings are intended to be brief so we try to wrap things up within 60 minutes. Members are invited to stay and socialize after the meeting.
Absolutely! We are always seeking philanthropic people to contribute their energy to the group.
In order to vote, the friend would need to join our organization by completing the Membership Commitment Form. Guests are welcome to observe and contribute a donation.
