The organization must be based in the South Georgian Triangle area and must be a registered not-for-profit or charitable organization, eligible to provide tax receipts for donations. 

​

The charitable organization must be established although the initiative may be new.  Organizations that are national or international in focus will not be considered. Donated funds support local projects only. 

​

Any member who has signed the Commitment Form may nominate a local organization using our online nomination form at least two weeks prior to a scheduled meeting.

 

 

A charity may be nominated as long is it has not been a recipient of our chapter's donation in the past three years.  This allows the opportunity for other charities to be the recipient of our collective donations.

​

An organization selected by our chapter to receive a donation may not be re-nominated for a period of three years.

Three organizations are drawn by the Steering Committee from all current nominations.  Members are notified in advance of the meeting if their nomination was selected so they can prepare a five-minute presentation about why the organization is most deserving of the donation. Members have the option to ask a staff member from the organization to prepare and present on their behalf.  The presentation is followed by a five-minute Q & A. 

  

Members may access "presentation tips" at the bottom of the Meetings page to help prepare for the presentation.  

​

Members are welcome to contact any member of the Steering Committee to ask for additional help.

If a member is unable to attend a meeting, proxy voting is available.  You may access the Proxy Form here. 

​

To donate, there are two options:

​

1. Send in a blank, signed cheque with another member to the meeting.  The member will complete the cheque with the name of the charity and give it to a member of the Steering Committee.   

 

2. Check the website following the meeting and use the "Donate" button which links to our Canada Helps SGT account to make the donation to the selected charity.  There is a $4 service charge so please donate $104 so the charity receives $100. 

 

No; the goal of 100 Women Who Care South Georgian Triangle is to make a large donation on behalf of our chapter.

 

Donating $10,000+ dollars at a single meeting makes a large impact in our community and each member's donation is a part of the larger donation.  This is the power of joining together!
