A SIMPLE, POWERFUL MODELD

When Early Momentum Changes Everything

Capital campaigns often need a visible first success to build confidence. 100EW™ gives organizations a focused, community-centered way to demonstrate support, welcome new donors, and create momentum for the larger goal.

THE IDEA

Collective giving,
made actionable.

The platform invites 100 women to each give or pledge $1,000 toward a cause they believe in. Together, those gifts can create a catalytic $100,000 foundation for a larger fundraising effort.
