A few months ago, when Valicia Leary needed equipment to start a yoga program for young clients at the Children’s Therapy Clinic she leads in Cross Lanes, a board member mentioned an idea for funding: a new, Charleston-based group of women called The 100.
The basic concept is for a diverse group of women to gather four times a year for a single hour — everyone’s busy. At each gathering, they’ll hear from two nonprofit organizations with specific projects in need of funding. Each member agrees to donate $50 or more to at least four of the eight organizations that present in the course of a single year.
