    FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

    How long has 100 Women Who Care York Region North been in existence?
    We are a new organization founded in September 2015 by Laurie Brakeboer and Tracee Sheldrake
    who were immediately drawn to the idea after reading about the many 100 Women Who Care
    groups. The first group was formed in November 2006 by Karen Dunigan of Jackson, Michigan,
    U.S.A. It has now grown to over 350 chapters around the world.
    Which charitable organizations are eligible for consideration by the group?
    At this time, in order to be considered at a meeting, the organization must be based in York Region
    North and it must be a registered not-for-profit or charitable organization able to provide tax receipts
    for donations. It must be previously established (no start-ups). No national or international charities,
    programs or organizations will be considered at this time as the current focus is on contributing to our
    local community.
    Is my donation tax deductible?
    Yes, as only registered not-for-profit and charitable organizations will be sponsored by the
    group. Cheques are written directly to the charitable organization and NOT to 100 Women Who Care
    York Region North. Tax receipts will be issued directly by the charitable organization.
    How is the organization that receives the group donation chosen?
    A member who has signed the Commitment Form can put the name of a local organization into the
    hat for a random drawing at the meeting. The organizers of the meeting will collect the names of the
    organizations from the members as they arrive. At random, two organizations will be selected from
    the hat. The nominating members will be asked to come up and give a short 5 minute presentation as
    to why the organization they are nominating should receive the donation and then spend 5 minutes
    for Q & A. We encourage members to participate by submitting the names of local, needy, charitable
    organizations!
    What if I cannot attend a meeting?
    If a member cannot attend a meeting she can do one of two things:
    1.She can send in a blank, signed cheque with a trusted friend to the meeting (preferred). The friend
    will write in the name of the charity that is chosen on the cheque and give it to the organizers on her
    behalf. The friend may not vote on behalf of the absent member. We can only count the votes of
    members who are present at the meeting;
    .continued

    2.The member can visit the website/meeting minutes or contact one of the organizers to find out
    which charity was selected. The member can then send in a cheque to one of the organizers where
    we will send it to the charity on the members behalf.
    3. Can I just send the donation to the charity myself?
    Because the goal of 100 Women Who Care York Region North is to make a large donation on behalf
    of the whole group, the answer is no. We want to be able to support this endeavour and give
    $10,000+ dollars at a time to make a large impact in our community with each member's donation
    being part of the larger donation. This is the power of joining forces! We also need to be able to track
    your donations so that you get credit for the donation and remain eligible for submitting charities and
    voting at meetings.
    How long do the meetings last?
    Meetings are intended to be very short and no longer than 60 minutes. That having been said, there
    is the opportunity to socialize after the meeting.
    Can I bring a friend to the meeting?
    Of course you can! We are always seeking women who care! However, in order to vote she will need
    to sign a Commitment Form and become a member. Otherwise she is free to observe and contribute
    a donation if she likes.
    Does any of my donation go to administration costs of 100 Women Who Care York Region
    North?
    Absolutely not! 100 Women Who Care York Region North is organized and operated entirely by
    volunteers. 100% of the money raised at our meetings goes directly to the selected organization!
