100 Women Who Care: Community Impact through Giving Circles

Local women empowering community change

August 24, 2023

100 Women Who Care (or 100 Men/People/Kids Who Care) groups are making a difference in their communities around the world by strengthening and growing the giving circle movement. 100 Women Who Care Chestermere launched in mid-October 2021, and to date we have donated almost $20,000 to local Chestermere charities. 

100 Women Who Care Chestermere is a group of local women who care about our community and want to make a big impact within our community, but don't necessarily have the time to commit to helping make that impact. Members commit to four one-hour meetings a year and donate $100 to a local charity or not-for-profit organization voted on by the members at each meeting.  

We are accepting members on an ongoing basis. Corporate sponsors are also needed to help pay for things like our website, website design, advertising and even drinks or appetizers at the quarterly meetings. 

Charities we have helped:

  • Imagination Library of Chestermere
  • Chestermere Food Bank
  • CommunityTherapy Dogs Society
  • Chestermere Women's Crisis Society
  • Synergy
  • The Drop youth drop-in centre (Chestermere Rec Centre)

100 members ~ $100 each = $10,000 donated to a charity every quarter!
