The Granting Committee of the 100+ Women Campaign
The 100+ Women Campaign is a fundraising initiative of the Pembroke Petawawa District Community Foundation. Our committee aims to gather at least 100 women to pledge $100 annually. Some women contributed themselves, while others contributed on behalf of women who are important in their lives.
 
Each year, the committee, made up of a dedicated team of volunteers,  help gather donations from 100 or more women who recognize that there is considerable need in this community and that there are dozens of charitable organizations of all shapes and sizes servicing a variety of interests. These organizations are providing much-needed services and programs and likely, would all welcome the support of 100+ Women.
 
The committee accepts granting applications from these community organizations and meets to determine how the $5,000 will be immediately returned to the community via a granting process to benefit and empower women and children’s groups in our area.
The committee plans a celebration to honour the generous donors and allows the successful grant recipient(s) an opportunity to speak more about their proposed use of the grant funds to those in attendance (100% of the money donated is split yearly between the grant recipients and the endowment fund).
 
Since our inaugural year in 2014, our group has enriched many women’s initiatives in our area. To date we have put $95 723 back into our community.
