100 Women Who Care make another donation!

​100 Women Who Care - Polk/Burnett held their quarterly meeting in February, learning about three local non-profit groups, their missions, needs, and what they would do with the donation if they were selected to receive it. Members voted for the group they deemed most deserving, ultimately choosing to award $11,600 to the Faith’s Lodge, the first dedicated retreat facility that provides hope, connection, and support to parents and families coping with the death of a child. Faith’s Lodge staff will use the donated funds to provide scholarships to serve all guests, regardless of their financial situation.

Faith’s Lodge representative Jenna Rogers said, "Thank you for choosing Faith’s Lodge. Your support is so appreciated and needed. We have a very busy year ahead at Faith’s Lodge, and this gift allows our child loss retreats to be even more meaningful."

100 Women Who Care - Polk/Burnett meets quarterly, on the second Wednesday evening of February, May, August and November. At each meeting, three local non-profit groups are allowed to give a brief presentation to educate members about their cause. At the end of the presentations, each member votes anonymously for the group they feel is most deserving to receive their quarterly donation. Three different non-profit groups will be chosen at random from all eligible applicants to present each quarter. All groups who apply must operate in Polk and/or Burnett, Wisconsin counties and have 501(c)(3) status. Once a non-profit is selected to receive a donation, they will be removed from the eligible pool until all applicants have had the opportunity to present to the group. If a non-profit group is chosen to present, but is not chosen to receive the donation, they will be added back to the drawing after one calendar year. 

100 Women Who Care - Polk/Burnett plan to hold their next meeting on Wednesday, May 11, 2022. If you are interested in joining the group or would like to submit an application to present, please visit www.100wwc-pb.weebly.com or send an inquiry to [email protected].
