About - 100 Women

A Simple Plan

​

It's so simple. Four times a year, 100 women gather and donate $100 each. Conduct a one hour meeting. Choose a charity and immediately invest $10,000. Giving made easy and fun!

​

Driven by a desire to make a difference and inspired by other successful

100+ Women Who Care groups around the world including our own 100 Men Who Care Ottawa,

we created a local philanthropic group of dynamic women determined to build a strong community.

 

Our giving circle began in April 2014 when two groups of women joined forces to launch something special. Our inaugural meeting was May 5, 2014 where over 100+ women gathered raising $11,925 in one hour! Today, we have raised over $344,860 for local charities and we are just getting started!

​

We are an informal, grassroots group of women who want to make a difference.

Our local chapter and events are led by an Executive Committee of dedicated volunteers.

We host four events annually. Three local charities present at each event and members choose their charity.

 

100% of funds raised go directly to the charities. Our goal is to support the important work of our local charities through funding and providing exposure in a simple and time effective manner. 

We bring together Ottawa's caring women to network, learn and give.​​​​​​

Our Values

• Continuously attract new members so our Chapter is stronger and can help local charities

• Create a memorable giving experience that inspires and motivates our members at every event to do more and be more

• Support women and cheer each other on by creating an inclusive environment that encourages women to grow and learn from and beside one another

• Advocate for local charities not just every quarter, but all year long. To be a resource local charities can rely on for exposure and support when they need it most

• Develop meaningful relationships with each other as well as our Ottawa community to promote awareness of our intent to help local charities serve our community
