Steps to Nominate a Non-Profit

PRE-QUALIFICATION: 

FIRST...Check the list of previously pre-qualified organizations on this website. If a non-profit is already on this list, you don't need to do anything additional until the meeting!

The organization must have a prequalification form submitted by a Chapter member in good standing and the organization must be recognized by the IRS as a 501(c)3 - NO EXCEPTIONS .

To qualify for prequalification , organizations must:

• NOT be a religious (churches/houses of worship) or political organization.

• Agree not to create, sell, or distribute a list with our members contact information, and agree not to solicit our membe rs directly for future contributions.

• Agree to provide tax receipts directly to chapter members for their donation.

• Agree to send a representative to our next meeting to give a 5 - 8 minute update on how our money was (or will be) used to help our community.

• The list of pre - qualified organizations will be available at the meeting.

SECOND... If your non-profit is not already on our approved list, the completed pre - qualifying form (see below) has to be received at least one week prior to the next meeting . Three ways to submit the form:

NOMINATING HAPPENS AT THE MEETING

• When you check in at the meeting you must NOMINATE the non-profit .

• You must be a 100+ Women Who Care Anchorage member in good standing to nominate or vote. New members must wait one meeting and make their first quarterly donation prior to being eligible to nominate a non-profit.

• If your non-profit is not chosen at the meeting you will have to re-nominate the charity at each meeting until it is chosen.

• Once an organization receives a quarterly donation from our chapter, they will become re-eligible for nomination again after two calendar years.    

MAKE YOUR PITCH!

Prepare to present at the meeting in case your nominated non-profit is one of the three randomly drawn. See the “Tips for Presenting Your Nominated Non-Profit to the Chapter” on this website.
