100+ SC Women Who Care

Meetings are one hour in length.

Each member commits to donating $100 per meeting on a quarterly basis ($400 annually).

Members bring a blank check to be written out directly to the selected charity.  If a member is unable to attend a meeting she may give her $100 check to another member to be her proxy. The proxy would vote for her and then add in the name of the charity on her behalf. The other option would be to submit the check after the meeting.

All donations will be provided to nonprofit charities serving our local area steering away from religious and politically driven nonprofits. Donations benefiting national charities will not be considered.

Members who wish to submit a charity for consideration need to complete a Charity Nomination Form, submit it at least one week before the meeting, prepare a Nomination slip at the meeting, and be ready to make a five-minute presentation to the members about the charity if it is one of the three submissions randomly drawn. Presenters will then have time to make their five minute presentation followed by a five minute Q&A.

Only members who have signed a Membership Commitment Form and are current on their contributions may submit a charity for consideration.

Only members who are current in their contributions are eligible to vote at meetings.

Each member will vote by ballot – the majority rules. Even if your choice is not chosen, all members are responsible for writing a check to the selected charity.

If a nominated charity is not selected for a presentation or funding, it may be renominated at a future meeting.  The charity that receives the funds is not eligible to be renominated for 2 years.  However, the nominating member is still eligible to submit the name of another charity at a future meeting.

In the case of a two-way tie the membership will be provided with the names of the two charities, and a second vote will be taken.

The selected charity must agree not to solicit, share or use member names and their information for any purpose.
