How It Works

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

  • Members who have signed the commitment form can nominate local charities, non-profits, or worthy causes, whose names are put into a hat.
  • Three charities are drawn at random at each meeting.
  • The nominating member makes a 5-minute presentation about each cause.
  • Members then have 5 minutes to ask questions about the nominated charity.
  • Repeat twice!
  • 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!

A few simple rules:

  • Each member donates $100 per meeting (that comes out to just over $1 a day each year).
  • For each of the three nominations selected from the hat, the nominating member will be given 5 minutes to make a presentation followed by 5 minutes of Q&A from the audience.
  • If you are unable to attend any given meeting during the year, please give your check to a member to deliver on your behalf.
  • 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.
  • All nominated charities must be a 501c3 organization.
  • No national charities will be considered, however, local branches of national charities are eligible for consideration. Our purpose is to keep 100% of the contributions in Central Oregon.
  • Please, no individual houses of worship or political nominations.
  • 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.

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