Group helps Montana women join forces to fund worthy projects – 100 Strong Billings – How about in your community?

For years, Haley Vannatta wanted to start some kind of philanthropic or charitable program she could sponsor as the publisher of Yellowstone Valley Woman magazine.

She talked about different ideas with Julie Koerber, editor of the magazine, and with her husband and business partner, Jeremy Vannatta, "but nothing ever seemed to fit," she said.

Then, about three years ago, Jeremy came home from a visit to the West Coast and told her about something he’d seen in Portland. It was called 100 Strong https://100strongbillings.com/about-100-strong-billings , an organization that harnessed the power of numbers by bringing together 100 women who would make a $100 donation every three months, and then meet quarterly to decide which nonprofit group’s capital project would receive funding that quarter.
