Fremont County Women Who Care began in 2021 when a group of women came together to make a local impact. After discussion and inspiration from other organizations around the country, a shared commitment to give back to local nonprofits, and a strong desire to strengthen community ties, Fremont County Women Who Care was born. 

The members of Fremont County Women Who Care love this community deeply. This passion explains why we are dedicated to making it a better place. Founder Kim Huffington, who has been involved in Fremont County nonprofits since 1980, knows this community is special. When the chips are down, Fremont County businesses and residents step up.

Huffington says her mother is another big reason she started Fremont County Women Who Care. "My mom died in October 2020. She had a generous heart, always very giving. I thought I could start Fremont County Women Who Care as a legacy to her generosity."

Dedicated To Giving 

Our organization is not a nonprofit itself, because we do not accept any donations, monetary or otherwise. Fremont County Women Who Care has one simple goal - to gather together as a group of philanthropic women who want to see local nonprofits succeed in their missions. In order to see these nonprofits succeed, we collect money from our members and that money goes directly into our chosen nonprofits.

In the current climate, sometimes things can seem a little out of control. But we can control things in our own community. And what better way to keep Fremont County thriving than offering donations that help local nonprofits? Contributions from our members can make a huge difference right here in Fremont County. The money goes directly into the nonprofits that need it the most. 

Not only do we gather to make contributions to local nonprofits, but after each meeting, we socialize and get to know each other. We love meeting other women with the same dedication to service and desire to make a local change. Want to become a member? Fill out a membership form and come join us at our next meeting.

Fremont County Women Who Care is part of a much larger movement. The first 100 Women Who Care group started in November 2006 in Jackson, Michigan. Founder Karen Dunigan asked 100 women to meet for one hour and each write a $100 check to a local charity. That first meeting raised $10,000 and bought 300 new baby cribs for a local organization. Today, Women Who Care chapters meet all across North America.

We brought that same simple idea to Fremont County, Colorado in 2021. Since then, our members have given nearly $100,000 directly to local nonprofits. Every dollar has stayed right here in our community.

Nonprofits We Have Supported

Each quarter, our members choose a local organization that serves people, families, or animals in Fremont County. Here are the nonprofits our donations have supported so far:

Growing to 100 Women in 2027

Our goal for 2027 is to reach 100 members. When 100 women each give $100, one local nonprofit receives $10,000 in a single evening. For a small Fremont County organization, a gift that size makes a real difference. Every new member brings us closer.
