The next gathering of 100+ Women Who Care Kenosha, a local
volunteer organization focused on collective impact through philanthropy, will be
Tuesday, May 14th at the historic Woman’s Club of Kenosha, 6028 8th Ave.,
Kenosha.
Registration will begin at 5 p.m. and the program will start promptly at 5:30 p.m.
Women from the community gather and bring a donation ($100 for women 40
and over, $50 for women aged 20-39, or $20 for women aged 13-19). The
attendees then nominate local nonprofit organizations. Nonprofits must be
registered 501 c (3) organizations that serve Kenosha County residents. Three
charities are selected at random to present to the women in attendance. The
group then votes to determine which nonprofit will receive the money raised the
night of the event.
At the February 2024 meeting, our venue host, the Woman’s Club of Kenosha
was chosen as the designated nonprofit. They received donations of $16,000. An
additional $5,000 was provided through a generous match by the Robert Schultze
Foundation.
Since 2018, more than $220,000 has been donated to nonprofit organizations
serving Kenosha County. Through the support of matching funds from the Robert
Schulze Foundation, over $50,000 has been added to the community’s donations.
Local nonprofits including God’s Kitchen, Kenosha Literacy Council, Grace
Welcome Center, KAFASI, Sleep in Heavenly Peace, Alzheimer’s Association,
Hospice Alliance, ELCA Outreach Center, Habitat for Humanity, the Kenosha
Public Library and the Kenosha County Food Bank are just a few that have
benefitted from this collective impact.
100+WWC Kenosha meets quarterly. After this month’s gathering, the next
meeting will be Tuesday, August 13, 2024, at the Woman’s Club of Kenosha.
