Know a local charity that could benefit from our organization’s support?
We’d love to hear about them! Not sure if the charity will qualify? No problem. Our leadership team reviews all charities nominated.
Complete the nomination form to the right. The first three qualified charity nominations will present at the upcoming event. If we receive more than three qualified charity nominations, up to three charities will have the opportunity to present at the following event.
Nominees will be vetted by the Leadership Team to determine eligibility.
The nominating Member or the nominated charity’s representative will have 3 minutes to present at the meeting.
Not sure if your charity qualifies? To get a sense of the criteria, review the factors we take into account to qualify nominated charities:
serves Toronto West, the approximate boundaries being Dufferin, and North through Etobicoke into Rexdale
is Canadian,
is a registered charity with the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA)
is able and willing to issue tax receipts to donating Members
has annual revenues under $5M
Want to nominate a charity? That’s great!
Just make sure you’re aligned with the spirit of the 100 Women Who Care philosophy, and are registered as a member.
Please note that in circumstances where a 100 Women Member heads or is employed by a local charity, another Member must complete the nominating process, and request that the charity’s representative present on their behalf.
Members or nominated charities must commit to presenting at the upcoming meeting to explain how the donation will be used, or request the Leadership Team defer their presentation to a later meeting.
You can submit your charity nomination at any time. Once our Leadership Team verifies eligibility, the charity will be added to our list of pre-qualified charities for presentation and funding consideration.
Please note that only Members of 100 Women Who Care Toronto West are able to submit nominations. The nominating member or the charity’s representative must be present at the meeting.
