The 100+Women Who Care (100+WWC) of Door County once again made sure some of your favorite non-profit organizations received the critical funds needed to make a difference in your community.

Last month, the 100+WWC awarded $28,000 in grants to three separate organizations. The Boys and Girls Club of Door County received the primary award of $14,000 while two others, Friends of Gibraltar and The Clearing Folk School, received grants of $7,000. The Boys and Girls Club of Door County, which is part of the Boys and Girls Club of the Bay and Lakes Region, plans on using its grant dollars to support the staffing, programming costs, and summer scholarships at Camp LeVoy, its all-day summer enrichment program.

The awards were part of the latest philanthropic efforts made by the 100+WWC, which is currently made up of over 380 givers. In the almost five years that they have been an organization, the 100+WWC has awarded $427,000 to 50 different Door County organizations. They will celebrate their fifth anniversary at their next Giving Circle event in Egg Harbor on July 17th at the Peg Egan Performing Arts Center where the Newport Wilderness Society, the Peninsula Symphonic Band, and the Open Door Bird Sanctuary will be recognized and awarded grants of their own.
