How It Works
We meet for one hour, four times a year, and each member brings a donation of $100.
You go home knowing you have made a difference.
A few simple rules:
We meet for one hour, four times a year, and each member brings a donation of $100.
- Every member in good standing can nominate a local, registered charity, or non-profit organization. The names of the nominated charitiesare put into a hat.
- Three names are drawn at random at each meeting
- The 100 Women Who Care member who nominated the charity then makes a 5-minute presentation about her cause telling us about the organization and to what use they would put the money should they win
- All members vote for one of the three causes to support at that meeting. A proxy vote is allowed providing the member is in good standing and has filled out the proxy form.
You go home knowing you have made a difference.
A few simple rules:
- We each donate $100 per meeting (That comes out to just over $1 a day each year).
- The charity must be registered.
- The nominator of each of the three charities selected from the hat will be given 5 minutes to make a presentation at the meeting. This presentation must be made by a member of the 100 Women Who Care, who may or may not be a member of the organization they nominated
- By ballot, the group will vote, and the majority rules. Even if you don’t care for the choice, you still must donate. All monies go to one charity. There are no administration costs.
- No international charities will be considered, however, local branches of national charities are eligible for consideration. The purpose is for 100% of the contribution to stay in St Lucia.
- Only three charities will be presented at each meeting.
- The organization must agree NOT to use the names for future solicitations, nor give the information out to the public.
- A year after being selected by the group, charities can re-submit their names for consideration.
