Here on the Mendocino Coast, this grassroots initiative brings women together to support local nonprofits through collective giving. An opportunity to build a local, giving circle that pools funds and energy to support our local organizations. A model that gathers 100+ community members, asking each person (or group of people) to donate $100. The money is pooled and donated to a nominated nonprofit, selected by the contributing members during a celebratory gathering. A global movement that utilizes local networks to support the organizations that power our communities. The movement is volunteer-led and 100% of the profits go to the selected organization for their area of identified need.
