Our History<\/h3>\n
After being involved with literally dozens of non-profit organizations in Pacific County, Washington, Nancy McAllister was frustrated.\u00a0 She made donations that added up on her end, yet to each organization, her impact was minimal.<\/p>\n
After learning about 100 Women Clatsop (County, Oregon), Nancy founded 100 Women Pacific (County, Washington) in the fall of 2025 with a very simple concept: recruit 100 women to give $100 (or more) four times annually. By co-selecting one local non-profit to receive everyone\u2019s donations each quarter, the dollars donated make a greater impact.<\/p>\n
It didn\u2019t take long to recruit the initial advisory board.\u00a0 Nancy knew quite a few women with extensive fundraising experience who shared her frustration regarding the time and energy they devoted to raising money. The Giving Circle model allowed participants to combine their financial resources with a minimal time commitment and create an impact for one non-profit at a time.<\/p>\n

Women Only?<\/h2>\n
100 Women Pacific is named in honor of the women’s groups who brought this concept to us and inspired our giving in this way.\u00a0 Don’t let our name fool you; our group includes people of all ages, regardless of how they identify their gender.\u00a0 Our demographic might best be described as “people who enjoy the company of women”<\/p>\n

Our History<\/h3>\n
After being involved with literally dozens of non-profit organizations in Pacific County, Washington, Nancy McAllister was frustrated.\u00a0 She made donations that added up on her end, yet to each organization, her impact was minimal.<\/p>\n
After learning about 100 Women Clatsop (County, Oregon), Nancy founded 100 Women Pacific (County, Washington) in the fall of 2025 with a very simple concept: recruit 100 women to give $100 (or more) four times annually. By co-selecting one local non-profit to receive everyone\u2019s donations each quarter, the dollars donated make a greater impact.<\/p>\n
It didn\u2019t take long to recruit the initial advisory board.\u00a0 Nancy knew quite a few women with extensive fundraising experience who shared her frustration regarding the time and energy they devoted to raising money. The Giving Circle model allowed participants to combine their financial resources with a minimal time commitment and create an impact for one non-profit at a time.<\/p>\n
