NON-PROFIT ELIGIBILITY
- Nominated non-profits must have been a 501-c-3 for at least two years.
- The non-profit must agree NOT to use the donors’ names for future solicitations or give that information out to the public.
- The non-profit must agree that 100% of the money donated will remain in our community.
- No political organizations, sports boosters or school groups (public or private) will be eligible for nomination.
- Religious organizations will be eligible only if 100% of our Impact Donation will be used in a non-denominational, humanitarian project (examples: food pantry, diaper bank).
- The goal of our group is to be caring, supportive and respectful to all. The founders will reject any nominations which may divide rather than unite our community.
- Non-profits who receive the Impact Donation will be eligible to be nominated again in 3 years. The two non-profits not selected will be eligible to be renominated at a future meeting, but if a non-profit has presented twice and not been selected they must wait one year before being renominated.
NOMINATING A NON-PROFIT
- To nominate a non-profit for consideration, you must be at the meeting, be a member in good standing (up to date on all donations) and have attended at least one meeting.
- Prior to being nominated, the director or board chair of an organization must complete and submit our Non-profit Eligibility Form to ensure that they meet the requirements and agree to the terms. This form need to be completed only once.
- To ensure that your chosen non-profit is eligible, check the list of pre-qualified nonprofits below.
- If your selected non-profit is on the list, fill out and submit a Nomination Form. More than one member may nominate the same non-profit at the same meeting. Remember, if you nominate a non-profit and it is selected for consideration then you will be asked to speak for 5 minutes about this organization (check our Presenting Tips).
- If your non-profit is not yet on the list, have a representative of the organization fill out the Non-profit Eligibility Form and get it to us at least a week before the meeting.
Once a non-profit is determined eligible, any member in good standing is free to nominate it for consideration.
