*100 Women has invested $125,000 into local Starkville projects in five years!

Giving Back Should Not Have To Stop When Life Gets Complicated

In 2020, as the world slowed down and our community faced new challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic, a small group of women in Starkville came together around a simple idea: giving back shouldn’t have to stop when life gets complicated.

The Women Who Care

From that idea grew 100 Women Who Care Starkville, a charitable giving circle that unites women who want to strengthen their community through collective generosity. Each member contributes $100, and together those donations are pooled into one meaningful fund that supports several local nonprofits each year. What begins as a single contribution from one woman becomes a powerful investment in organizations that make a difference across Starkville.

Founded in a moment when connection felt distant, the group became a way to bring people together around a shared purpose. Their mission is rooted in the belief that simple, intentional giving can create lasting change and build a stronger, more connected community.

How Does 100 Women Make An Impact?

Throughout the year, local nonprofits across Starkville are invited to apply for funding from 100 Women Who Care Starkville. These applications outline specific community needs like expanding food assistance programs and supporting families in crisis to building homes or improving local resources. Each proposal explains exactly how the requested funds would be used to make a tangible impact in Starkville.

Selection of Grant Winners

Members make a one-time $100 donation for the year, and all donations are pooled together to form one collective community grant fund. Once applications are received, they are reviewed by the organization and shared with members ahead of the annual funding selection night.

During selection, members come together to learn about each nonprofit’s proposal and cast their votes. The projects that receive the most support are awarded funding, allowing nonprofits to act quickly and address immediate needs in the community.

This clear, focused process allows 100 Women to provide meaningful funding to several local nonprofits each year. It ensures every dollar goes directly to projects that matter: projects that feed families, strengthen neighborhoods, and make Starkville a better place to call home.
