How It Works
Members donate $100 (or $50 each for a team of two) four times a year. (Our membership hovers around 200 to 215 at any given time, so we plan on donating about $20,000 each quarter.)
Members may nominate one local nonprofit each quarter to be the top recipient of our pooled donations that quarter.
All nominees are vetted for eligibility. After nominations are closed for the quarter, we randomly select three of them to present at our upcoming meeting, after which members in attendance vote for one of them to be our “primary recipient.”
We allocate $10,000 of our combined funds to that recipient and split the remainder equally between the other two organizations.
The top recipient also stands to receive a 50% match ($5,000) from the Richard M. Schulze Family Foundation. As one of the giving circles in the U.S. invited into this program, we apply for this grant each quarter on the nonprofit’s behalf. Assuming the organization aligns with the foundation’s mission to “strengthen and support effective initiatives in education, health care, and human services that benefit all,” it receives the $5,000.
You agree to stay up to date with your donations in order to have nominating and voting privileges.
You agree to contribute your quarterly donation for as long as you remain a member, understanding that you may resign at any time by emailing the steering committee of your decision at 100wwcvt@gmail.com.
Please note: If you choose to resign within one week of a quarterly meeting, we ask that you fulfill your commitment for that quarter if at all possible. This enables us to fulfill our commitment as a giving circle to our three selected nonprofits that quarter. Thank you!
