100WomenStrong, a philanthropic collective dedicated to improving the lives of Loudoun County residents, last night awarded $712,500 to 51 nonprofit organizations. This year’s milestone propels the group’s cumulative impact past $6 million. Established in 2008 by Karen Schaufeld and 12 founding members, 100WomenStrong was created to strategically support nonprofits meeting the most critical needs in Loudoun County.

Today, the group has grown to 90 members—its largest roster to date—and continues to expand its impact. Membership is capped at 100 to preserve a close-knit, collaborative spirit. Through member-driven grantmaking, 100WomenStrong supports nonprofits working across five essential focus areas that collectively shape community well-being: Shelter, Health, Mental Health, Hunger, and Education.

These areas reflect many of the key social determinants of health—the economic, environmental, and social conditions that influence long-term health outcomes and quality of life.

Funding allocations for 2026 were: Shelter: $145,500 to 10 organizations Health: $189,500 to 11 organizations Mental Health: $89,500 to 8 organizations Hunger: $101,800 to 9 organizations Education: $186,250 to 13 organizations In remarks to grantees, Schaufeld emphasized the interconnected nature of these needs and the collective impact of the nonprofit community.

“Although we organize our giving into categories, we know these challenges are deeply connected,” Schaufeld said. “If someone lacks stable shelter, they may also be facing health or mental health challenges, food insecurity, or barriers to education. When you help someone in one of these areas, you are often improving outcomes in many others as well.

” “The work each of you does strengthens the entire Loudoun County community. We are incredibly grateful for your compassion, commitment, and partnership. Loudoun is fortunate to have such a generous and caring nonprofit community working together to support our residents,” she said.

Based on grant application projections, this year’s funding is expected to directly impact more than 105,000 Loudoun County residents.
