Nomination Process

• Any member in good standing may nominate a potential recipient. This is a diverse, inclusive group of women. We ask that you keep this in mind when nominating potential recipients and look to nominate organizations with broad appeal.
• Each nonprofit can only be added to the potential recipient pool once. Nonprofits with multiple programs cannot be nominated for each program separately. Each nonprofit only needs one nomination to be added to the charity pool. Multiple nominations will not increase entries.
• Nominations are subject to steering committee approval. Once nominated, the steering committee will ask the nominated organization to fill out a Nonprofit Qualification form and will determine eligibility. Organizations that meet the eligibility criteria and have both a Nomination Form and a Nonprofit Qualification Form on file will be added to our potential recipient pool.
• The steering committee may institute a process in the future to update the potential recipients list to make sure it is current and reflects the interests of our membership.

Selection Process

• The three organizations for each event are drawn at random from the potential recipient pool.
• Organizations will be asked to present in the order drawn.
• Each of the three nominated organizations will have five minutes to present to the members. Presentations will be followed by a brief question and answer period.
• All potential recipients must have a Nomination Form and a Nonprofit Qualification Form on file.
• The recipient is selected by a plurality voting system; the organization that receives the most votes will receive the group donation.
• The two organizations that are not selected cannot be selected for the next event but are eligible for subsequent events.
• The selected organization is not eligible for another award for 24 months. After that time the organization can be re-nominated to go back on the potential recipients list.
