We are an alliance of busy women who want to make a difference and can commit a small amount of time and resources four times a year to streamline fundraising.
About the Meetings:
At each meeting, each committed member (a four meeting, $100 per meeting commitment) will be given an opportunity to nominate and vote on a charity for the group support. Members who choose to nominate can place your ballot in the box at the meeting or nominate through this link. Apply here.
The Steering Committee will pull nominations from a ballot box prior to the meeting and ask the organization to make a presentation as to why the charity should be chosen. These non-profits, such as 501(c)3 organizations, churches or school projects, will be vetted by the Branch County Community Foundation. There is a 2 year waiting period between receiving funding per organization.
After the presentations...WE VOTE! The votes are submitted, tallied, and whichever charity receives the most votes will receive the donation! The winner is announced, and each of our members makes a payment (cash or check) to the winning organization. The donations are presented to the charity on behalf of the group.
All organizations who receive funding must also agree to not solicit the Women Who Care membership in any way. In just a few hours a month, you can help make a huge impact in our community!
