100 Women Who Care

About Us

100 Women Who Care is a group of women who share a common desire to give back and inspire local philanthropy in their community. The group is open to all women — the more women who get involved, the greater our impact will be!

Since 2014, we have donated over $160,000 to 50+ local charities in the South Okanagan Similkameen!
