Frequently Asked Questions

Consider forming a team. You can join with another person and split the cost. Teams of two will submit one $100 e-transfer or cheque. The team has one nomination and one vote, but both members can attend.

We have 4 meetings per year

A meeting will last 1 hour. Registration and socializing will open 60 minutes before the meeting.

The potential beneficiary must be based in the 100 Women Who Care Timmins & Area boundaries. Our chapter boundaries encompass Timmins, South Porcupine, Porcupine, Matheson, Val Gagne, Iroquois Falls and Mattagami First Nation. A beneficiary can be nominated at each meeting as long as it has not been a beneficiary of the 100 Women Who Care Timmins & Area’s donation in the past 2 years.

Any registered member can submit a nomination for a potential beneficiary. Three nominees will be drawn from a hat at the beginning of each meeting. The nominating members will be asked to give a short, 5-minute presentation on why the potential beneficiary they are nominating should receive the donation, followed by a 5-minute Q&A period. After all 3 presentations, each member or team will vote, and all the contributions will go to the nominee with the majority vote.

If you cannot attend a meeting, you can do one of the following:

• You can e-transfer your payment to 100wwcTimmins@gmail.com ahead of the meeting.
• You can send a cheque or money order with another member to the meeting.
• You can contact the Steering Committee at 100wwcTimmins@gmail.com and arrange to deliver your payment before the meeting.

If you would still like to participate in the meeting:

• Join us on Facebook Live
• Alternatively, you can ask another member to act as your proxy. Send us an email to confirm the proxy and we will make sure your vote is counted

Yes, but only if a registered not-for-profit or charitable organization is the Beneficiary of the donation. Tax receipts will be issued directly by the charitable organization, if applicable.

This is the best part! If your nominee gets the majority vote, you will ask the Beneficiary to make a brief presentation at the next event telling us about our donation’s impact.

Absolutely not! We are organized and operated entirely by volunteers. We are thankful for the generosity of a few sponsors who help cover our costs. 100% of the money raised at our meetings goes directly to the beneficiary.

We collect your personal information (including name, address, email address, phone number) strictly for the purpose of maintaining our membership list. We will not sell, give or otherwise share your personal information without your express consent unless required by law or for the purpose of a tax receipt from the beneficiary.

Of course! In order to vote, she would need to sign a Member Commitment Form to become a member and contribute her $100, but guests are also free to just observe.
