Story of the Fund
100 Women Who Care Elkhart County is a group of women who come together with a shared purpose: to support local nonprofits doing meaningful work in our community.
Started in 2014 by Jenny Welch and Sheila Terlep, the group is built on a simple but powerful idea—when people pool their resources and act together, small efforts can lead to significant results.
How It Works
Each member commits to giving $100 four times a year. At each quarterly gathering, members nominate local nonprofit organizations that are doing good work. After hearing from a few of those groups, the members vote—and the organization with the most votes receives that quarter’s collective donation.
It’s a streamlined, thoughtful approach to giving—one that allows members to make a real difference without a large time commitment.
The Impact
Since its founding, 100 Women Who Care Elkhart County has given more than $450,000 to nonprofits serving people across the region. Past recipients include organizations focused on youth development, mental health, housing, and more.
Every meeting leads to more stories of hope, help, and community care.
