An Invitation From our Founder
Jeneane Ryan, Beaufort Chapter Founder
“The idea of 100 Women Who Care is a concept that is brilliant in its simplicity…women coming together with a common purpose of helping our local non-profit organizations who work tirelessly to do what they do so well.
When 100 women donate $100 at the same time, the group accomplishes collectively what few of us can accomplish on our own—making a $100 donation that can enable a charity to complete a project or attain a goal that had been out of reach. That’s real impact. And it takes less than an hour.
No volunteering, no telemarketing, no event planning, no silent auction donations to solicit. It’s simply a great way to give back in our own community. The POWER of 100 women having a local impact!
Please consider joining us. We would love you to become a member.”
“Never believe that a few caring people can’t change the world. For indeed, that’s all who ever have.” – Margaret Mead
How to Join
Joining is simple: Come to one of our quarterly meetings and fill out a commitment form. It’s a quick and easy form asking you to agree to donate $400 over the course of one year – $100 per quarter – to the organizations that the membership votes for to receive the money. That’s it! There’s a 30 minute arrival period (starting at 5:00) before each meeting so you’ll have plenty of time to complete the simple form (please note that this is different from our nomination form, which is required in advance of our meetings).
Another way to join is by filling out this commitment form and mailing it to:
100WWC Beaufort, PO Box 2579, Beaufort, SC 29901
You can also join our meetings as a visitor, but the nominating and voting process is reserved for members only.
