Nearly 100 extraordinary women from Central New York gather for just about an hour to donate $100 each to a selected nonprofit, giving an immediate financial boost to a local charity and the community members it serves.
It's a simple concept with a huge impact.
And it's a whole lot of fun!
No volunteering, no telemarketing, nor event planning—just an easy way to give back with impact through the power of collective giving. Anyone can join this CNY giving circle to learn about the needs in our community, discover who is doing amazing work to meet those needs, connect with like-minded women, and have some fun.
Together, 100 Women Who Care CNY has donated nearly $230,000 to local nonprofits in Central New York, showcasing the strength of one hundred women who care.
The next meeting is April 15 at 5:30 p.m. at Drumlins, 800 Nottingham Road, Syracuse. (Enter through Bistro door.)
Upcoming 2026 events are:
April 15
July 15
Oct. 7
The event is in the upstairs University Room; enter the left side of the building through Bistro 1926.
And, you're invited! A cash bar is available, with refreshments sponsored by Ameriprise Financial Services, LLC.
Interested in joining? Just show up!

how it works
Join us - Just show up!
We meet four times a year, socialize a bit, learn about three nonprofits, choose one to support that evening, then each member donates $100. That's it. Small commitment. Big impact.
Enjoy snacks, a cash bar, and plenty of time to mingle with like-minded CNY women. It's the best girls' night out where we embody the spirit of 100 Women Who Care.
Nominate Local Charities
As a member of 100 Women Who Care CNY, you can nominate local nonprofit organizations, which are then selected at random to present at an upcoming meeting.
All charities must be 501(c)(3) organizations that are located in and provide services to our local community.
Meet and Learn
Meet and Learn
During our meetings, three nonprofits present to the group in five-minute increments. After the presentations, the members of 100 Women cast an anonymous ballot to determine which charity could most benefit from the funds. The chosen charity receives the donations and returns to our next gathering to report on how they utilized the funds.
