100 Women Who Care Antigonish strives to represent the people of Antigonish Town & County but ultimately it is the decision of our individual members as to who they nominate based on the following guidelines.
- The non-profit organization (NPO) must have been operational in Antigonish County for at least one year.
- Donations must benefit Antigonish County.
Selection Process:
-
Non-profit organizations can only be nominated by a registered member in good standing.
-
Initial nominations will be made on the Member Registration Form.
-
Three‐plus-one NPOs will be randomly selected from the pool of nominated NPOs by an objective third party.
-
The Co‐Chairs will vet the first three NPOs by investigating their eligibility.
-
The NPOs drawn will be contacted and if they wish to participate, will be provided with a Non‐Profit Organization Agreement letter.
-
The Agreement must be completed and returned to a Co-Chair within 10 business days.
-
If one of the first three NPOs is ineligible or declines participation, the fourth NPO
drawn will be vetted. -
The three eligible NPOs will be announced at the meeting 3 months prior to
their presentation. -
Members are free to research the selected NPOs if they wish prior to the meeting where voting will be held.
-
No national or international charities, programs or NPOs will be considered; the focus is on contributing to local NPOs.
-
Of the three selected NPOs, the recipient NPO will no longer be considered eligible;
the two unsuccessful NPOs will be returned to the selection process.
