Mighty hearts indeed. The title Capitol File chose for their November profile on the launch of Washington 100 couldn’t be more a propos.
Washington 100 is certainly a network of philanthropic leaders with the mightiest of hearts–with many giving not only of their treasure, but of their time and their talent to truly learn about, dig into and understand their philanthropic commitment to the women and girls of the Washington metropolitan region.
As a result, their impact is exponential, much like the strategy behind their giving.
100 people giving $10,000 over two years=$1 million. The embodiment of The Power of Giving Together.
Co-chaired by Doreen Gentzler and Barbara Strom Thompson, this philanthropic network is, as Doreen notes in her letter in Capitol File, making a real difference.
"Together," Doreen writes, "we’re helping women get training for better paying jobs, helping them learn how to get out of debt and even buy their own homes, helping girls get better educations and learn how to plan for their futures."
Washington 100–truly mighty hearts making a mighty impact.
