We are a non-profit organization with a goal of bringing women together to leverage small, individual donations into larger, collective grants to invest in Northumberland-based charities.
Each member commits to donating $50, four times a year (annual charitable donation of $200*).
*We appreciate that we’re living in difficult times. We want to make 100+ Women Who Care Northumberland accessible for everyone. A sliding scale membership option for donations to our community grant program is now available. Please email 100womennorthumberland@gmail.com for more information.
Donations must be made in advance of or at the start of each meeting.
Any member who has signed a Membership Commitment Form and who is current with her donations may submit a Charity nomination form to nominate an organization for consideration at a meeting.
Three registered charitable organizations will be drawn at the end of each meeting to be considered for the next vote. Members will then vote for one of these charities at the following meeting.
The nominating members will make a five-minute presentation about the organization to the group and a Q&A session will follow.
Each member who has signed a Membership Commitment Form and who is current with her donations may vote (by ballot) for one of the three organizations. Votes may be made by proxy by another member or via email.
The organization to receive the most ballots will receive a collective grant in the amount of the membership contributions at the time of the meeting. We have implemented a structured approach to grant distribution, where donations are allocated on a 75/25 ratio basis. This means that the charity receiving the most votes during our community meetings will be awarded 75% of the total grant for that meeting, while the remaining 25% will be distributed among the other two nominated charities.
Members who did not vote for the selected organization agree to make their donation regardless.
Members will receive a tax receipt from Local Food for Local Good (the coordinating organization).
Join 100+ Women Northumberland and make a difference in our community! Once you’ve submitted the online form you will receive a welcome email that outlines a listing of upcoming meetings and information about how to make your donation and how to nominate a charity.
