The Grand Rapids Area Community Foundation is excited to announce the first-ever 100 Women Who Care Itasca giving circle event, taking place on Monday, May 5, from 6:00 to 7:30 PM at Timberlake Lodge in Grand Rapids, Minnesota.
This community-driven initiative brings together women who want to make an immediate and meaningful impact. The concept is simple: one hundred women gather, and each attendee donates $100. Together, they pool their resources to raise at least $10,000 in a single evening for a local nonprofit organization.
During the event, attendees will have the opportunity to nominate a nonprofit they are passionate about. Three organizations will be randomly selected from the nominations, and a representative—often the person who nominated them—will present a brief overview of the nonprofit’s mission and impact. After hearing the presentations, attendees who contributed will vote for the organization they believe should receive the evening’s collective donation. The nonprofit with the most votes will be awarded the full amount raised that night.
“This event is a powerful example of what happens when individuals come together with a shared purpose,” said Mindy Nuhring, Executive Director at the Grand Rapids Area Community Foundation. “By combining our resources, we can create an immediate and lasting difference for organizations that support our community.”
Women of all backgrounds are invited to participate, whether they wish to nominate a nonprofit or simply take part in the giving process. The event also provides a unique opportunity to connect with like-minded individuals who are committed to making a positive impact in the Itasca area.
