100 Women Who Care Halton Hills is a group of women in Halton Hills who care deeply about contributing to the community's health and vitality. Each quarter, we meet for one hour and make a $100 donation to a local charity or not-for-profit organization voted on by the members.
How it all works:
Each member commits to donating $100 per meeting, four times a year
Meetings are diligently conducted in one hour or less.
The nominating members of three randomly selected organizations will make a five-minute presentation about the organization to the group and a Q&A session will follow.
Each member will write a $100 cheque (or donate on this site) to the organization receiving the most votes.
The selected organization will receive a group donation of $10,000 or more!
Members who did not vote for the selected organization agree to make their donation regardless.
Members will receive a tax receipt directly from the organization if they are a registered charity.
Any member who is unable to attend a meeting is expected to give her cheque to another member to deliver on her behalf to make an online donation by hitting the button marked "Make Your Donation" or to mail her cheque to an address provided.
Organizations under consideration must serve the Halton Hills area and provide individual tax receipts directly to contributing members if they are registered charities.
An organization not chosen to receive our donation at one meeting is eligible for selection at a subsequent meeting as long as it still has a nominating member.
A successful organization is not eligible for future consideration for three years, but the nominating member may submit the name of another organization.
Ties will be decided by further votes. If a tie persists, the membership will vote to either (1) randomly select one of the tied organizations by a draw; or (2) divide the group donation equally between the tied organizations.
The selected organization must agree not to use member information for further solicitation purposes, or give it out to any third parties except for tax purposes.
Each meeting will include a five-minute update on how the funds donated at the previous meeting were used by the successful organization.
