Members and guests gather with recipients of our collective quarterly donations following our October 2024 meeting.
A Simple Concept.
A BIG Impact.
100+ women x $100 = $10,000+ each quarter
to nonprofits serving Chittenden County, Vermont
100+ Women Who Care-Chittenden County is a giving circle of women committed to advancing positive change in Vermont’s most populous county. We pool our resources to make significant gifts to nonprofits that have a strong presence in our region, serve diverse populations, and address significant needs.
We come from all walks of life, with different backgrounds and life experiences. While we may lack resources individually, by joining together we can (and we do!) make substantial donations that empower organizations and create more equitable and just communities.
Collectively and with the generous support of the Richard M. Schulze Family Foundation, we have contributed more than $250,000 to nearly 50 deserving nonprofit organizations since our first meeting, held virtually in full-on pandemic mode, in July 2020.
