Details about 100 women who care

Meetings

• Quarterly meetings are currently held at the LDS Hospital Auditorium in the Avenues in Salt Lake City (with a Zoom option). 
• Meetings are one hour long.

Commitment

• Each member commits to donating $100 per meeting ($400 annually). This is a commitment whether a member is able to attend the meeting or not.
• If a member is unable to attend a meeting  she may donate on the Grapevine website or mail a $100 blank check to the treasurer before the meeting.

Donation Process

• Members DO NOT write checks to 100 Women Who Care SLC. Members donate via the 100 Women Who Care page on the Grapevine website or a check written to the non-profit.
• Members are encouraged to donate via the 100 Women Who Care page on the Grapevine website. If possible, please sign up for automatic quarterly donations (you can cancel recurring donations on Grapevine anytime). Grapevine will transfer the money to the Impact Award winner's account once all donations are collected.
• Or, members may mail a blank check ($100) before the meeting to our Treasurer, Rhonda Jackson, 1542 East Harrison Ave., Salt Lake City, Utah 84105. Rhonda will fill in the name of the Impact Award recipient after the meeting.

Charity Selection

• All donations will go to charities serving Salt Lake county. Donations to national charities will not be considered unless that charity has a local group affiliation and the donation will benefit only the Salt Lake county community.
• Members who wish to submit a charity for consideration must complete a Charitable Organization Fact Sheet and be ready to make a five-minute presentation on their charity at the meeting. Polarizing/divisive non-profits/causes will be avoided. 
• Members who wish to submit a charity need to contact Frances Friedrich (801.232.0998) at least three weeks before the meeting so she may vet the charity, review the organization fact sheet, and provide advice on the presentation.
• Three names will be randomly drawn before the meeting. Each member will then have five minutes to make her presentation. 
• Only members who have signed a Commitment Form, have attended at least two meetings (may present at their third meeting), and have made their quarterly donations may submit a charity for consideration. 
• It is considered poor manners to join this group for the sole purpose of getting a donation for a specific charity, and once a donation is received, quit the group. 
• Only members who are current in their contributions are eligible to vote at meetings.
• A five-minute Q&A session will take place immediately following the three presentations and directly preceding member voting.
• Each member will vote by ballot in person (or by Zoom poll) - the majority rules.  Even if a member's charity does not "win," all members are responsible for making a donation to the winning charity.
• If a member presents for a particular charity that is not chosen, the member is still eligible to submit that same charity at subsequent meetings, for a total of three times.  If the charity is not chosen (after the third attempt), she must wait two years to submit again. If a  member's charity is chosen, that charity is not eligible to be considered for future consideration for a period of three years, however, the member is still eligible to submit the name of another charity.
• 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.  If the second vote results in another tie, then we will randomly pick one of the two charities' names out of a hat.  In the case of a three-way tie, we will randomly pick one of the three names out of a hat.
• Once the Impact Award recipient is determined, all correspondence will be made directly with the non-profit Executive Director.  This will enable an easier donation process.  The Impact Award recipient (non-profit) needs to meet submission deadlines for information needed to transfer donations.
• The Impact Award non-profit must agree not to use the names of the members for future solicitations or give member information out for any other public use or purpose.  The non-profit is also invited to send a representative to the next meeting to explain to the membership how the funds have been used.
• After the member donates to the winning 501(c)(3) charity, she will receive a thank you note via e-mail with the information needed to make a tax deduction. Grapevine will also send a contribution report at the beginning of the following year.
