MENDOCINO CO., 5/9/26 — The seventh 100 Women Strong Mendocino Coast event raised $26,000 for local nonprofits in mid-April. The next event, for inland nonprofits, is coming later this month on May 21.

100 Women Strong is a community-led philanthropy effort that brings more than 100 women together, along with loved ones of all genders, who contribute $100 each and gather for an event where leaders of three local nonprofits present their missions and needs. Attendees vote to decide which organization gets the primary award, and any additional funds raised are split between the other two nonprofits. All funds raised go to the nonprofits.
