Note: As a team you are allowed ONE vote.

• Any active member in good standing can nominate any number of registered charities for each quarterly meeting.

• Complete the Nomination Form

• The nomination form must be submitted online by the deadline a few days prior to the membership meetings.

• The charitable organization must serve Burlington/Halton residents. 
• The charitable organization must be a Registered Charity, or a program affiliated with a Registered Charity. 
• The Registered Charity must be in good standing and able to provide tax receipts for donations. 
• The charitable organization must also be firmly established (operating for at least 12 months). 
• National or international charities, programs or organizations can only be considered if they provide direct service(s) to Burlington/Halton residents.

• Once the group selects a charitable organization to support, it is ineligible for nomination again for 3 years. 
• However, different programs within a large organization (for example a specific department or program within a hospital), may be considered again after one year. (The Leadership Team will review to make sure the programs nominated are truly different.)
• Members can continue to nominate the same organizations that have yet to be selected by the group.
• A charity may also be nominated more than once by different members at each meeting, giving it a greater chance of being presented.

Charitable organizations must be nominated by an active member of 100+ Women Who Care Burlington to be considered.

We invite organizations to engage with us on Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn to keep connected and informed of our upcoming meetings. Many of our members are also looking for a charitable cause to nominate. We invite featured organizations to educate our membership about their causes through our social media platforms.

• Any member who has signed a Commitment Form can submit the name of a charitable organization that serves Burlington/Halton to be included in a random drawing at each meeting. 
• The leadership team will collect the nominations from the online submissions a few days prior to the meeting. 
• 3 charitable organizations will be selected at random. 
• The nominating members will be asked to give a short 7-minute presentation as to why the organization they are nominating should receive the group’s donation. (Members can choose to invite someone from the charity to speak on their behalf. In this case the nominating member has 2 minutes to introduce the charity and the charity speaker has 5 minutes to speak.)  
• 5 minutes will be allowed for Q & A for each presenter. 
• We encourage members to participate by submitting the names of local, charitable organizations in need!

• Yes. Only Registered Charitable organizations in good standing with the Charities Directorate will be sponsored by the group.
• Payments, either online or by cheque, are made directly to the charitable organization and NOT to 100+ Women Who Care Burlington.
• Tax receipts will be issued directly to the donor by the charitable organization.

You will receive an email with details about the chosen charity, including a link in which to donate online. The member can then donate online or send a cheque directly to the Charity of Choice.

Meetings are intended to last no more than one hour. That having been said, there is the opportunity to socialize before/after the meeting.

Of course you can! We are always seeking women, gender nonconforming and two-spirited people who care! However, in order to vote they will need to sign a Commitment Form and become a member. Otherwise, they are free to observe and contribute a donation if they like.

Absolutely not! 100+ Women Who Care Burlington is organized and operated entirely by volunteers. 100% of the money raised at our meetings goes directly to the selected charitable organizations!

100+ Women Who Care Burlington collects your personal information (including name, address, email address, phone number) strictly for the purpose of maintaining our membership list. 100+ Women Who Care Burlington will not sell, give, or otherwise share your personal information without your express consent, unless required by law.

The Burlington chapter was co-founded in June 2013 by Marion Goard and Pat Grant. The first membership meeting for 100 Women Who Care Burlington took place in January 2014.

The first 100 Women Who Care group was formed in November 2006 in Jackson, Michigan, USA.  At their first one-hour meeting, the Jackson 100 Women Who Care group raised $10,000 to buy 300 new baby cribs for an organization in their city! Their membership has now grown to nearly 300 members and to other cities across Canada and the United States. Toronto was Canada’s first chapter, having been started in March 2012.
