Nomination Vetting
Nominees will be vetted by the Leadership Team to verify eligibility and added to our list of pre-qualified charities for presentation and funding consideration. Prior to the event, there will be a draw to select who gets to present their charity.
Presentation
Please refer to the guidelines on our Presentation page.
What if my charity is not selected to receive a donation?
With so many worthy causes, the decision is often tough. If your charity was presented but did not get selected to receive a donation, don’t lose heart! You can resubmit the nomination again until your charity is chosen.
