nly philanthropic organization that combines womenโ€™s leadership with collective giving. Since 2006, the passionate members of 100 Women Strong have together invested over $842,000 to address such issues as infant mortality, domestic violence, early education, food security, mental health, and more.

Did you know? ๐Ÿ’œ

100 Women Strong is so much more than a collective giving group.

For 20 years, we've brought together women who want to make a meaningful impact in Central Florida. Together, we've awarded more than $1 million in grants, learned from community experts, built lasting friendships, and worked alongside local nonprofits to create real change for women and children.

When you become a member, you're not just making a donation. You're joining a community of women who are curious, collaborative, and committed to making a difference together.

If you've been looking for a meaningful way to connect with your community while amplifying your philanthropy, we'd love to welcome you.

Member Spotlight: Allie Yadav!๐ŸŽ‰

Allie has led our Research & Grants (R&G) Committee for more than a year, generously sharing her expertise and leadership to strengthen our giving circle. We couldn't be more grateful for the time, energy, and thoughtfulness she brings to this role.

From fostering a collaborative and welcoming environment to bringing together a diverse group of women to research our annual grant focus area, Allie has been an incredible force within our giving circle. Her dedication, insight, and commitment to our mission have helped shape meaningful philanthropic impact in our community.

Thank you for being a 100 Women Strong member, Allie!

What makes 100 Women Strong different?๐Ÿ’œ

It's more than collective giving, though there's plenty of power in women pooling their resources to create meaningful change.

It's also a place where women come together to learn about the needs, opportunities, and challenges shaping our community right here in Central Florida.

Through experiences like our recent 3-Year Focus Area Workshop, members explore pressing issues and help guide the priorities that will shape future grantmaking.

The result? Philanthropic dollars that go further, deeper community understanding, and connections with other women who care about making a difference.

When women are informed, engaged, and connected, the impact reaches far beyond a single grant.๐Ÿ’ช

We'd love for you to join us!

Last night, 100 Women Strong members got together for a workshop focused on our next 3-year focus.๐Ÿง โ›ˆ๏ธ

Allie Yadav, Kathy Rovito, DrPH, MPH, CHES, CIC, and Amy Neustadt MPH, BCC presented on four areas: health and well-being, education, community and social connection, and economic stability. Presentations were loaded with local, state, and national data, plus recommendations on what we could tackle within each area.

An incredible assist came from Research and Grant committee members, with a special thank you to ๐Ÿ’ฅPatricia Burlaud, Ph.D. for her expertise and time! Thank you to member Catherine Losey for hosting us in your beautiful space at Losey PLLC.

After members listened to each presentation and discussed with each other, they anonymously and individually ranked their top two focus areas.

What's next: once we have the 4 focus areas down to two, we'll send those two options out to our full membership for a final ranking.๐Ÿฅณ

Whatever the outcome, the new focus area will go into effect next year!

This is collaborative philanthropy. This is women coming together, learning together, growing together, and creating impact together.

This is 100 Women Strong.๐Ÿ’ช
