100+WomenWhoCare – South FL is proud to announce that they have raised over $1.5 Million for more than 140 non-profits over the last 10 years! Approximately $225,000 of that has been donated by the North Palm Beach Chapter, which is only 5 years young. After putting together an amazing group of philanthropic women whose mission was to give back to their community, Melody Spano, the Founder of 100+Women Who Care -South Florida and her committee, launched the first Florida Chapter meeting in November 2012, with just 30 women!

In 5 years, 100+Women Who Care-South FL increased membership to approximately 500 women and 5 chapters: Miami Beach, Broward, South Palm Beach County, North Palm Beach County and Jupiter/Tequesta There were fewer than 50 chapters nationally when South FL launched and today, there are now over 700 chapters worldwide!

The premise is simple: Each 100+Women Who Care chapter meets quarterly and its members vote on a sponsored charity of choice who then becomes the recipient of a grant (typically $10,000-$15,000) of which 100% goes to that selected charity. Collectively, the South Florida 100+WomenWhoCare Chapters currently raise about $200,000 per year for local, mostly underfunded, non-profits. Melody Spano is the Director of the North Palm Beach Chapter, and each chapter is now run by its own Chapter Director with wonderful supporting volunteer committees.
