Poised to make a meaningful impact on local communities, 100 Women Who Care Beaches has announced the launch of their philanthropic initiative to support Duval and St. Johns County nonprofits. This program revolves around the power of collective giving — each member commits to donate $100 per quarter, totaling $400 annually, to support a selected not-for-profit organization. With a membership of 100 women, the quarterly donation would be $10,000.
Here's how it works: prior to quarterly meetings, members are invited to nominate a local not-for-profit that serves Duval and St. Johns counties. At each meeting, the three randomly chosen organizations are selected to present their causes to the members.
The members then vote to determine the recipient of the collective funds. The meeting and voting take place within a one-hour time frame. The chosen not-for-profit receives direct financial support from the generous contributions of 100 Women Who Care members.
This unique approach not only fosters a sense of community among its members but also provides a platform for local organizations to showcase their impactful work. By pooling resources, 100 Women Who Care Beaches aims to shine a spotlight on deserving organizations, provide financial support to local nonprofits and foster positive change within the Beaches communities.
The inaugural meeting is 6 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 30, at the Ponte Vedra Beach Branch Library, 101 Library Blvd. Individuals interested in becoming a part of this movement are encouraged to join by completing a membership form, available at 100womenbeaches.com. People are also welcome to attend and register at the meeting.
As 100 Women Who Care Beaches embarks on this journey of collective giving, the organization welcomes all those with a passion for making a difference to come together and contribute to the betterment of their community.
