Welcome to the 100 Women Charitable Foundation
100 Women Charitable Foundation is a women's philanthropic giving group bringing together over one hundred women in a common purpose: to award high-impact financial grants to San Francisco Peninsula non-profit organizations. We are a community of women dedicated to improving the lives of those less fortunate in the Santa Clara and San Mateo counties by collectively funding grants to charitable initiatives, specifically in the areas of education, family services and health and wellness.
For those who have already joined us, we thank you. Without you, our dream of providing large impact grants to
nonprofits in our community would remain just that - a dream. If you haven't yet joined us, we hope you'll take the
time to explore our site and to learn more about us.
100 Women Charitable Foundation membership is open to any and all women who believe a diverse group of
women, by joining together, can make a big difference in our community.
In previous years, by pooling our financial contributions, our members have invested in local community non-profits that provide solutions for people who lack access to basic necessities such as health care, quality shelter, education and job training.
What [100 Women Charitable Foundation] has done is quite amazing. Being able to bring so many women together to positively impact the lives of so many is just genuinely refreshing. I am impressed and thankful there are good souls that do such amazing work.

We extend our heartfelt thanks to each of the deserving finalists, Sunday Friends, ALearn and Sacred Heart Nativity School of San Jose. The work of these non-profits in our community continues to inspire us. We invite Members or friends who wish to further help one of these organizations can do so by visiting their websites. 
One of 100 Women Charitable Foundation's goals is to change the face of philanthropy in the San Francisco Bay Area area. By involving members in the due diligence and research process, we raise awareness of the many worthwhile charitable opportunities in the area, and inspire our members to become involved with these charities in a more personal way.
