- We meet for one hour, four times a year, and each member brings a check for $100 or pay online.
- Every member can nominate local charities, non-profits, or worthy causes that must be a 501c3.
- Members who come to the meeting can put the name of the charity they want to speak about into the bin.
- Three names are drawn at random at each meeting.
- A member makes a 3-minute presentation about each cause.
- We all vote on which cause to support.
The top vote-getting charity then receives all the checks, made out to them on the spot!
On each of four nights during the year, these 100+ Women Who Care give to a local charity, non-profit, or worthy cause, right here in Northville and surrounding communities. It’s fast, simple, and amazingly effective. We invite you to attend any time to see how it works and decide if the group is right for you.
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 a non-profit with a 501(c)(3) status and must be established at least one year prior to nomination.
- Each of the three charities selected from the bin will be given three minutes to make a presentation at the meeting. This presentation must be made by a member of the 100 Women Who Care and that member MUST present on behalf of the charity, who may or may not be a member of the organization.
- By ballot, the group will vote, and the majority rules. All checks go to one charity.
- No national 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 Michigan.
- 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.
