About 100 Women Strong Ohio
100 Women Strong Ohio Inc organizes grantmaking around a giving-circle model in Northeast Ohio, where members select recipients through annual and biannual events. The foundation’s recent awards show a consistent pattern of general support for nonprofits serving women, children, and families, with one-off grants at two main levels: $35,000 and $16,700. In 2025, Harmony House Inc received $35,000 in general support, and First Glance Student Center also received $35,000, reflecting a large-grant tier within the group’s member-directed process. Smaller awards of $16,700 went to organizations such as Akron Snow Angels and Family Promise of Summit County Inc, indicating that the foundation uses a structured mix of larger and smaller gifts rather than a single fixed grant amount. Its stated grantmaking emphasis reaches women, children, families, community development, health, housing, education, recovery, and anti-trafficking supports, with all recent grants landing in Ohio. The organization says it has given over $800,000 to date through member donations and grantmaking.
