About Us
TOGETHER:
We make an immediate, direct and positive effect in our communities. We bring together 100 (or more) women from the Grey-Bruce area who care about local community causes, and who are passionate about community support.
The group meets just four times a year, for 1 hour each meeting, and jointly selects a local charity or not-for-profit organization serving the Grey-Bruce area to donate to. Each woman writes a $100 cheque directly to the selected organization.
The total yearly commitment from each woman is just 4 hours, $400 and a desire to be part of a group that contributes $40,000 a year to organizations in the Grey-Bruce area.
SIMPLE AND EFFICIENT:
- Each Member commits to donating $100 per meeting, four times a year.
- Meetings are diligently conducted in one hour or less.
- Any member who has signed a commitment form and who is current with her donations may submit an Organization Nomination Form to nominate an organization for consideration at a meeting.
- The nominating members of three randomly selected organizations will make a five minute presentation about the organization to the group and a Q&A session will follow.
- Each member who has signed a commitment form and who is current with her donations may vote (by ballot) for one of the three organizations.
- Each member will write a cheque for $100 to the organization receiving the most votes.
- Members will receive a tax receipt directly from the organization.
- Members who are unable to attend a meeting are expected to give her cheque to another Member to deliver on her behalf.
- Organizations under consideration must serve the Grey/Bruce area and provide individual tax receipts directly to contributing members.
- The selected organization must agree not to give out member information to any third parties except for tax purposes.
