YOLO COUNTY, CA (MPG) - 100+ Women Who Care Yolo County is a group of women making direct and positive impacts through collective giving. We meet, learn, vote, give, and repeat. 100 women x $100 x 1 hour = $10K Local Impact!

100+ Women Who Care Yolo County is an extraordinary group of women who make an immediate, direct, and positive impact on Yolo County through collective giving. Our members commit to giving $100 each quarter to a nonprofit serving Yolo County that is selected by the members. Since our first meeting in November 2016, 100+ Women Who Care Yolo County has made 30 collective donations totaling over $350,000 to 25 unique nonprofits. We've made a big impact using our simple model of giving together.

We meet just four times a year (February, May, August, and November), and each meeting includes a half hour of socializing followed by a one-hour meeting. We hear short presentations from three nonprofits, we vote, then everyone donates to the selected organization. Just like that, your $100 donation can turn into a $10,000 collective donation and make a big impact!

On May 16, we will consider: Center for Land-Based Learning, Yolo Healthy Aging Alliance, and Yolo Food Bank.

This year, we are pleased to be partnering with our local Sudwerk Brewing Company to make our meetings fun and festive as we come together to support nonprofits working in our local community. We’ll start with time to mingle from 7pm-7:30pm so you can connect with each other, meet representatives from the nonprofits, and ask any questions you may have. The meetings begin promptly at 7:30pm where we’ll hear from three nonprofits and then vote to decide who will be the recipient of our collective gift. We’ll also hear from previous recipients about the impact of our gifts and randomly select the nonprofits to invite to the next meeting.

Everyone is welcome. No RSVP or reservation is required to attend. Only members can vote, but you don’t have to be a member to attend. New members are welcome anytime and commit to donating $100 per quarter for at least one year. If you are interested in joining as a member prior to the meeting, please visit our website.

The May 2024 Giving Circle event will be on Thursday, May 16 from 7 p.m. - 8:30 p.m. at Sudwerk Brewing Company Event Room, 2001 2nd Street, Davis, CA 95618.
