The Power of 100+ As a new initiative of the SRWC, the Power of 100+ is a separate and distinct effort from our Community Grant program allowing us to fund a larger, one-time project through direct contributions. Based upon the 100 Women Who Care program, SRWC members vote to select the sponsored project and then support it with their $100 donation. Each year one project will be selected to receive a $10,000+ contribution as our signature Power of 100+ Project. Proposals are not being accepted at this time. The COVID-19 Nonprofit Fund On March 29, 2020, the SRWC set up the COVID-19 Nonprofit Emergency Fund, soliciting donations to support nonprofits struggling to continue to provide much needed services to those impacted by the virus, isolation, job loss, etc. during this difficult time. Over the course of the pandemic the SRWC raised $45,833 to support our nonprofit partners. Fundraising concluded on May 31, 2021 and all remaining funds were distributed. |
