100+ Women Who Care Kodiak

How This Works

 

We meet for one hour, four times a year, and each member brings a check for $100.  

 

• Every member can nominate a local charitable organization having IRS 501c3 status through this website or at the registration table at the meeting.

 

• At the meeting all nominated charities are put into a hat.

 

• Three charities are drawn at random at each meeting. The nominating member makes a 5-minute presentation and answers questions about the nominated charity.  This presentation must be made by a member of 100+ Women Who Care Kodiak, who may or may not be a member/staff of the non-profit she has nominated.

 

• All members present then vote on which charity to support.

 

• The top voted charity is announced and each member writes a $100 check in the name of that charity.

 

• For members not able to attend, please give your check to a member to deliver on your behalf, OR checks may be mailed in after the meeting.

 

• The collective donation is made to the happy charity which will provide tax receipts for the individual check donations to each member.  

 

A few simple rules:

 

• By ballot, the group will vote, and the majority rules. Even if you don’t care for the choice, you still must donate. All checks go to one charity.

 

• At this time, all nominated charities must be a 501c3 organization.

 

• No national charities will be considered, however, local branches of national charities are eligible for consideration if 100% of the money donated will be spent in the Kodiak area.

 

• Please, no individual houses of worship or political nominations.

 

• Only three charities will be presented at each meeting.

 

• The selected organization must agree NOT to use the members names for future solicitations, nor give the information out to the public.

 

• Charities who receive a contribution from 100+ Women Who Care are not eligible for re-nomination for one year after their award.
