How To Nominate

 

Any member who is a member in good standing may nominate an organization. Nomination forms must be submitted no later than two weeks prior to the meeting. If they are submitted after that date, they will be held for the next meeting.

CLICK HERE for a list of eligible charities. CLICK HERE for a list of our past winners. And CLICK HERE for a list of nominated charities thus far.

New for Nominations: For members hesitant to get up and speak, we have the answer. One of our dedicated committee members will be delighted to speak on your behalf, but you must be present at the meeting to be eligible. Please click here for the formatting and content guidelines. Your speech must be emailed, as an attachment in WORD, two weeks prior to the meeting to nominations100womenvictoria@gmail.com.

Members may only nominate one charity per meeting. Members may change their nomination each meeting, but they must submit a form if it is a new charity.

At our meetings, we will randomly draw three member's nomination forms. The nominating members of the selected organizations will make a five minute presentation about the organization to the group. Should the nominating member wish, she may ask another member to make the presentation about the charity on her behalf. For more information on presenting, CLICK HERE

In order to be considered for nomination, organizations must provide direct services or programs in Victoria. Each philanthropic entity must be a registered charitable organization with a charitable registration number from Canada Revenue Service. National organizations are eligible for nomination as long as they are operating a charitable program, project, appeal or service that directly benefits people living in Greater Victoria.

All nominated charities must agree to provide individual tax receipts and to keep member information confidential. Past winning charities are eligible to re-enter the draw every three years, granted they meet the guidelines.

Each nominated charity is carefully vetted to ensure they meet the eligibility criteria listed above. Our nominations liaise will contact you within a few days of nomination if there is an issue with eligibility.

We cannot stress enough, the importance of meeting attendance to hear the compelling presentations, be part of the vote and ultimately understand the voting results. Be sure to have your voice count through meeting attendance and learn first-hand how our collective donationsare used by the selected charities.

Please note: Our chapter guidelines are reviewed and updated before the start of the next giving (calendar) year and based on membership feedback.
