100 WOMEN CHARITABLE FOUNDATION · CELEBRATING TWENTY YEARS
Upcoming Events
Where we are in the grant cycle, what just happened, and what’s next — all in one place, all right here in Santa Clara and San Mateo Counties. Twenty years in, we’re still doing it the same way: together.
MEMBERS & FRIENDS SOCIAL
Let’s Pop In For A Pour!
Testarossa Winery, 107 Bistro & Wine Bar
300 College Ave, Los Gatos
Grab a glass, grab a friend — and join us on the Testarossa patio in Los Gatos for a fall afternoon under the trees. There’s no admission fee, so bring someone new to 100 Women and let them see what our community feels like. Celebrating our 20th year — two decades of women giving together and a good reason to raise a glass.
Testarossa gives back 15% of every food & wine purchase to 100 Women — treating yourself also treats the Foundation.
Only 40 seats — registration required.
THE 2026 GRANT CYCLE
How your $100 becomes a grant
Every membership gift moves through the same four phases before it lands with a local nonprofit. Here’s where things stand.
01
Letter of Inquiry
Apr 1 – Jun 15. Members refer local nonprofits, who submit a Letter of Inquiry. We accept the first 45 — we’ve hit that cap three years running.
02
Full Application
Due August. Invited organizations submit full applications with financials.
03
Site Visits
Oct – Nov. Committees visit semi-finalists in each focus area — education, family, and health & wellness — to see the work firsthand.
04
Finalists & the 20th Vote
Jan 15 → March. Six finalists are notified in January. Every member ranks her top three at our 20th Annual Voting Event — one vote, real power, twenty years running.
Referring a nonprofit? Every applicant must be referred by a current member. Renew now so the organizations you care about can apply.
TOGETHER, SO FAR
Recent & upcoming gatherings
The grant cycle is the engine — these are the evenings where the community actually shows up for each other.

Farmers’ Market Info Table Shifts
We’re looking for a few members to staff our info table and talk with folks about why they’re part of 100 Women. No experience needed — just a willingness to chat.
- Thursday, October 15 · 3:30–7:30pm
Twenty years of giving where we live. Join us and turn your $100 into something no one of us could do alone — then help decide where it goes, just like members have for two decades.
