To become a member of Fremont County Women Who Care you must complete the online membership form. It's simple and should take no longer than 5 minutes to complete! 

Any woman who wants to make a difference and can commit to donating once per quarter is welcome to join us! Our goal is to reach 100 members in 2027. When 100 women each give $100, one Fremont County nonprofit receives $10,000 at a single meeting. If we grow even larger, our impact grows too. The More The Merrier is our motto.

Our meetings are short, sweet, and to the point. Each quarterly meeting lasts about one hour. We start with 15 minutes of social time. Next, the nonprofit we supported at our last meeting shares a quick update. Then we hear three nonprofit presentations, vote, and collect donations for the winner. Light hors d'oeuvres, usually donated by a local restaurant or caterer, are often served.

Of course we would love for you to attend our meetings, but we understand schedule conflicts can frequently pop up. If you are unable to attend one of our quarterly meetings, you can take your contribution to Gift Chateau, located at 731 Main Street in Downtown Cañon City. Let them know you are giving them money for your Fremont County Women Who Care contribution.

At each meeting, members of Fremont County Women Who Care write their non-profit nominations on a piece of paper. From these nominations, three non-profits are chosen. The Fremont County Women Who Care member who nominated the chosen non-profits then have 5 minutes to tell the group why their non-profit should be chosen to receive funds. After this, members vote on which non-profit they want to receive the donations. 

The non-profit who receives the most votes from Fremont County Women Who Care members is the organization who will receive the donations for that quarter.

In order to be considered at a meeting, the non-profit or organization must be based in the Fremont County, Colorado area. Organizations and non-profits must commit to keeping all contributions from Fremont County Women Who Care in the local community. National organizations are not eligible, but local branches of national nonprofits can be nominated. Recipients must be registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations.
