A new philanthropic initiative is launching in Northeast Tarrant County, offering women a simple way to create a meaningful local impact.
The initiative, 100 Women Who Care – NETC invites community members to pool modest donations into a single, powerful contribution for area non-profits. Members meet quarterly for just one hour, each pledging $100. From member nominations, three local non-profits are selected, and the group votes to award one organization the pooled donation — resulting in $10,000+ for a local cause.
“Collective giving is a powerful force,” said Jennifer Worrel, founder, in a press release. “The ‘100 Women’ model amplifies generosity while respecting the busy lives we lead.”
The inaugural event will be held January 26, 2026, at The Elmore Hotel in Southlake. Membership is open to any woman who wants to join.
The model, started 20 years ago in Michigan, now has hundreds of chapters nationwide. The Northeast Tarrant County group will focus on supporting community non-profits where the pooled donation has the potential to move the needle for the mission of each organization.
Women from Southlake, Grapevine and Colleyville are at the heart of this new giving circle, bringing together a community known for stepping up when local nonprofits need it most. With so many organizations in the area relying on grassroots support, the combined efforts of these women have the potential to create immediate, meaningful change. Their involvement ensures that the generosity of Northeast Tarrant County stays local—directly strengthening the places where they live, work and raise their families.
“By focusing our philanthropy locally, we will generate immediate funding and catalyze tangible results right here where we live,” said Worrel. “100 Women is a way to give back — in a big way — without adding to anyone’s to-do list.”
