PROFILE: Established in 2019, 100 Strong Gallatin Valley is a women’s giving circle based in Bozeman, Montana. It pools donation dollars of local women, $100 per quarter of the year for each member, and then members vote on organizations to support. 100 Strong seeks to “unite women of diverse backgrounds to fund capital projects that will enhance the lives of families in the Gallatin Valley.” The giving circle funds local efforts to benefit women and girls.
The 100 Strong Gallatin Valley giving circle operates under the guidance of a team of six women called the Vision Team. The women meet quarterly on Mondays at the Farmer’s Daughter Café to vote for the next organization to fund. It typically considers local nonprofits that work in the areas of domestic violence, reproductive health, and youth mentoring. Factors considered in the group’s funding decisions include timing, urgency of the need, and number of people impacted.
Grants are $10,000 each. Learn more about this funder’s local giving on its Facebook page. Grantmaking focuses on Bozeman, Montana, and the greater Gallatin Valley area. A past local grantee is Haven, and local nonprofits considered in the past include Bridgercare and Big Sky Youth Empowerment.
This foundation accepts unsolicited grant applications from nonprofits. The funder provides an application form on its website along with the next upcoming deadline. Organizations can apply for the next funding cycle if their application is not chosen as one of the top three considerations for the previous quarter.
