How We Work
| How We Work |
- Each member commits to donations $100 each meeting, four times a year.
- We meet once per quarter:
- The first Wednesday of March, June & December
- The second Wednesday of September
- Meeting are diligently conducted and held in one hour or less.
- Members who have registered by signing a commitment form, and who are currently in good standing may nominate an organization or group for consideration.
- All nominated organizations will be voted on electronically to determine the top three member choices. These three organizations will present their project at the quarterly membership meeting.
- Each registered member who is current with her donations will vote by secret ballot for one of the three organizations.
- Groups will have 1 vote per group.
- Each member than writes a cheque in the amount of $100 to the organization that received the most votes.
- The selected organization will receive a donation of the amount collected depending on the number of members, up to $10,000.
- Members who did not vote for the winning organization agree to make their donation regardless.
- Members will receive a tax receipt directly from the organization.
- Members who are unable to attend a meeting are obligated to give their cheque to another member to deliver on their behalf, or you can drop off your cheque to the Sun Life Financial office location at 4-50 Selkirk Ave (Plaza Mall) or send an INTERAC e-transfer to [email protected] (may use 100women as the password).
- Organizations under consideration must serve the community of Thompson MB, and must provide individual tax receipts directly to the contributing members.
- An organization not selected at one meeting may be submitted again at a subsequent meeting.
- A successful organization will be eligible for future consideration after a two year period.
- If the amount donated is less than $10,000, the organization will be eligible for considerations after one year.
- In the event of a tie, a revote will take place between the tied charities. Only members present at the meeting can vote, as proxies will not apply to a secondary vote.
- Proxy votes must be received no later than 4pm the day of the meeting to be counted. Proxy votes sent in without donation will not be counted.
- The selected organization must agree not to give out member information to any third parties except for tax purposes.
- Each meeting will have a five minute update by the successful organization from the previous meeting, on how the funds donated were used. This will occur while the votes are being counted.
