100+ Women Who Care

Here’s How the 100+ Women Who Care Works

Here’s How It Works

    • One (1) time per year, our givers commit $100.
    • Each giver has the opportunity to nominate a local nonprofit. There are eligibility requirements (see below), and nominations must be approved by April 25th. To nominate a nonprofit, please use the form below.
    • At the event, four (4) nominated and approved nonprofits will be randomly drawn to present. The nominating giver will be asked to make an informal presentation, of up to five minutes, to the group about their nonprofit’s mission and why it is deserving of the giver’s vote. No PowerPoint or collateral materials, please. If a nominating giver is not in attendance, another nonprofit will be drawn.
    • Givers attending in person will have the opportunity to ask questions after each presentation.
    • After the presentations and Q&A, voting is held, and the nonprofit with the most votes will be the recipient of a $5000 grant. Any additional grants will be distributed based on the number of givers.
    • There is no proxy voting.
    • Half the monies raised at the event will support the needs of today, while the other half will go into the Community Fund to support the needs of tomorrow.
    • The selected nonprofit is then invited back to the next event to share with givers the BIG impact their donations have made.

Can I bring a friend to the event?
Yes! We are always looking for women who want to GIVE BIG. Please invite your friends, neighbors, daughters, and co-workers to become a giver today.

Is the event limited to 100 women?
Absolutely not! If we can make a BIG impact with 100+ women, why not grow and make an even BIGGER difference?

What do you do with my personal information?
The OCF collects your personal information (including name, email address, phone number, and mailing address) strictly to keep in contact with our givers. Our database is used for administrative purposes only.

We will not sell, give, or share your personal information with any third party. Ever. We may occasionally recognize our givers via social media and other media. If you want to remain anonymous, please let us know when you join.

How do I nominate a nonprofit?
Once you join the group, you may nominate a nonprofit by completing the Nomination Form and submitting it before the deadline.

If a giver is affiliated with a nonprofit, i.e., an officer, board member, employee, or volunteer, she is allowed to nominate that nonprofit and present on its behalf.

Do I have to nominate a nonprofit?
No. Many women like just to attend and give.

Can a nonprofit be nominated more than once?
Each giver can only nominate one nonprofit per event. However, multiple givers can nominate the same nonprofit, increasing the nonprofit’s chances. The giver’s name on the drawn nomination form will give the presentation. However, the same nonprofit may not be drawn more than once to present.

Is my donation tax-deductible, and how do I track my gift?
Yes, the donation is tax-deductible. You will receive a tax acknowledgment letter via email when you register for the event.

How much of my donation goes to the administration costs of the program?
Absolutely zero! Our operating expenses are offset by generous corporate partner support.
