Glass has become synonymous with 100 Women Who Care \u2013 a national philanthropic group.<\/p>\n<p>Every three months, a local non-profit gets a big donation. That&#8217;s thanks to 100 Women Who Care, a national organization with a Tallahassee chapter.<\/p>\n<p>Members contribute $100 apiece at meetings, then vote on which nonprofit will receive the quarterly funds.<\/p>\n<p>Virginia Glass says the Tallahassee chapter started with 65 women and now has 255.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The simplicity of this organization is what makes it work,&#8221; she says, &#8220;because we have so many people who want to give back, but their schedule does not permit them to go sit in board meetings all the time.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The group started during the pandemic. Now, five years later, it&#8217;s given away more than half a million dollars. Glass has long been involved with local philanthropy, including serving with the United Way of the Big Bend, which honored her work during its annual giving campaign kickoff. <\/p>\n<div class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2025 WFSU<\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":0,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"tdm_status":"","tdm_grid_status":"","wds_primary_category":0},"categories":[],"tags":[1136,1135],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.3 -
