How 100+ Women Who Care Works

Meetings are one hour in length.
Each member commits to donating $100 per meeting on a quarterly basis ($400 annually).
Members bring a blank check to be written out directly to the selected charity. If a member is unable to attend a meeting she may give her check to another member to deliver on her behalf or she will be contacted after the meeting.
All donations will be provided to Bluffton area charities serving the greater Bluffton area. Donations benefiting national charities will not be considered.
Members who wish to submit a charity for consideration must complete a Charity Nomination Form and be ready to make a five minute presentation to the members about the charity. Three submissions will be randomly drawn. Presenters will then have time to make their five minute presentation followed by a five minute Q&A.
Only members who have signed a Membership Commitment Form and are current on their contributions may submit a charity for consideration.
Only members who are current in their contributions are eligible to vote at meetings.
Each member will vote by ballot – the majority rules. Even if your choice does not win, all members are responsible for writing a check to the winning charity.
If a nominated charity is not selected for a presentation or funding, it may be renominated at a future meeting. The charity that receives the funds is not eligible to be renominated for 2 years. However, the nominating member is still eligible to submit the name of another charity at a future meeting.
In the case of a two-way tie the membership will be provided with the names of the two charities, and a second vote will be taken.
The winning charity must agree not to use the names of the members for future solicitations or share member information for any other public use or purpose.
