100 Women Who Care Richland County
Our Mission
100+ Women Who Care Richland County is a group of philanthropic women dedicated to making a positive impact on Richland County. Members commit to donating $200 annually. The first $50 supports the 100+ Women Who Care Richland County Endowment, a fund of Southeastern Illinois Community Foundation, that will be used to serve future needs for years to come. The remaining $150 is used to support the three nonprofits selected by the members throughout the year ($50 at each meeting).
