100 Women Charitable Foundation

The 100 Women Charitable Foundation streamlines and amplifies member engagement in philanthropy, enabling meaningful impact in local communities. We are committed to directing 100% of donations annually to nonprofits serving underserved populations.

100 Women Charitable Foundation is a growing community of more than 450 women and their families and friends who are committed to improving the lives of the disadvantaged or underrepresented people of Santa Clara and San Mateo Counties. Our members care passionately about our community and frequently discuss community issues. We combine our members’ financial resources to make large-scale grants a reality. Our philosophy is simple but powerful.

For 19 years, the 100 Women Charitable Foundation has encouraged hundreds of members to take a more active role in local philanthropy. At our Annual Meeting and Grant Vote, we raise awareness of many worthwhile charitable opportunities within our community. We believe that our dedicated group can join together to make a significant impact in the lives of those in need. With the most recent grants, awarded in March of 2026, the organization has given away over 2.7 million dollars in grants to local charities.

We are a recognized, tax-exempt organization and we award grants to local non-profits in the categories of health & wellness, family, and education.
