The 100 Women Who Care initiative was launched in 2006 as a simple, efficient, and effective collective fundraising model for charities. One hundred (or more) women each contribute $100 and vote for one of three nominated charities three times a year. There are now over 400 chapters active across North America.

The Salt Spring branch was founded November 2018 to bring this high-impact philanthropy to the Island, and in five years, it has raised over $280,000 for now 15 causes ranging from eldercare services, pathways, the public library, the SPCA, IWAV, Community Services, and Search & Rescue.

Any member of 100+ Women Who Care can nominate a CRA-registered charity that has a local impact. Three are selected at random during the meeting, and the audience hears 5-minute presentations from each before voting.
