One meeting, one hour, and $10,000 for a local Thompson charity.

It's the aim of 100 Women Who Care Thompson, a new women's fundraising group in the city.

Chairperson April Saunders explains how an organization can secure this funding:

"At each meeting, we'll have three charities come in that are nominated by active members. We listen to each charity for 3-5 minutes as to why they deserve the funds, we take a secret vote, and then whoever has the most votes, that's who's getting the funds. The only catch is that 100% of it has to stay in Thompson and it cannot be used for any admin fees."

The first recipient of the funds raised by 100 Women Who Care is the YWCA.
