The next gathering of 100+ Women Who Care (100+WWC) Kenosha, a local volunteer organization dedicated to collective impact through philanthropy, will be held on Tuesday, November 12, at the historic Woman’s Club of Kenosha, located at 6028 8th Ave., Kenosha.
Registration will commence at 5:00 p.m., and the program will commence promptly at 5:30 p.m.
Attendees from the surrounding community are encouraged to bring a donation. The donation amount is as follows: $100 for women aged 40 and above, $50 for women aged 20-39, and $20 for women aged 13-19. Each donor has the opportunity to nominate a local nonprofit organization. These organizations must be registered as 501(c)(3) entities that serve residents of Kenosha County. Three charities will be selected at random to present to the attendees. The group will then vote to determine which nonprofit will receive the funds raised during the event.
At the August 2024 meeting, Western Kenosha County Special Olympics was designated as the recipient of the funds raised during that event. The organization received donations totaling $8,300. An additional $4,300 was provided through a generous donation from the Richard M. Schulze Foundation.
Since 2018, over $250,000 has been donated to nonprofit organizations serving Kenosha County. Through the support of matching funds from the Richard M. Schulze Foundation, over $66,000 has been added to the community’s donations.
Local nonprofits such as Matthias Academy, 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 have all benefited from this collective impact.
The 100+ Women Who Care – Kenosha chapter meets quarterly. Following this month’s gathering, the next meeting will be held on Tuesday, February 11, 2025, at the Woman’s Club of Kenosha.
