About Us

Who We Are...

Power of 100 Punta Gorda was established in 2023 by a group of community-minded women who shared a simple goal: to make a greater impact through collective charitable giving in Charlotte County, Florida.

Inspired by similar successful giving circles across the country, our organization brings women together to support local nonprofit charities and strengthen the community we call home.

Our members gather twice a year to learn about deserving local organizations and collectively select a charity to receive our Impact Award. Each member contributes $100 directly to the selected charity at each meeting, representing a $200 annual commitment to local charitable giving.

An additional $10 annual membership fee helps support the organization's operations.

Together, we believe that small individual contributions can create extraordinary change.

Our Founders...

Power of 100 Punta Gorda began with a shared vision and the dedication of a group of women committed to making a difference in Charlotte County.

We gratefully recognize the founding members whose leadership and generosity helped bring this organization to life.
