The next gathering of 100+ Women Who Care (100+WWC) Kenosha, a local volunteer organization focused on collective impact through philanthropy, will be Tuesday, August 13th 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 attend from around the community and bring a donation ($100 for women 40 and over, $50 for women aged 20-39, or $20 for women aged 13-19). Each donor can nominate a local nonprofit organization. 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 May 2024 meeting, Matthias Academy, a nonprofit adult day program in southeast Wisconsin that serves adults with mild to severe disabilities, specialized medical needs, behaviors, and mild to severe autism was chosen as the designated nonprofit. They received donations of $7,000. An additional $3,500 was provided through a generous match by the Richard M. Schulze Foundation.
Since 2018, more than $237,000 has been donated to nonprofit organizations serving Kenosha County. Through the support of matching funds from the Richard M. Schulze Foundation, over $62,000 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, the Woman’s Club of Kenosha 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, November 12, 2024, at the Woman’s Club of Kenosha.
