A member of the 100+ People Who Care team will contact the primary person listed on your application. We will also provide information about the event, presentation requirements, and next steps.

We will schedule a conversation with your organization to help you prepare for the event. During this meeting, we will explain the presentation process, review what to expect, and answer any questions you may have.

At the event, your organization will have the opportunity to share its mission, explain how the funding would be used, and answer questions from our members. After all selected charities have presented, members will vote to determine which organization will receive the collective donation.

Our goal is to bring together 100 or more people who each commit to donating $250, creating a potential collective gift of $25,000. The final amount may vary depending on event participation and the number of donations received.

Members may provide their donations at the event or shortly afterward. Our team will work closely with your organization to track incoming donations and help ensure funds are received as quickly as possible.

We will ask your organization to participate in the following meeting with an update so our members can learn how their contributions are making an impact.

Our goal is to support as many charitable organizations in our region as possible over the years. Even when an organization is not selected to receive the collective donation, presenting provides an opportunity to share its mission with community members who may become supporters, volunteers, donors, or advocates.

Organizations are encouraged to remain engaged and apply again in future years.

Your application remains active for the entire calendar year in which it was submitted. You do not need to submit a new application for each quarterly event.

Organizations are encouraged to reapply each calendar year with updated information, funding needs, accomplishments, and goals.

Yes. Because applications remain active throughout the calendar year, an eligible organization may continue to be considered for future events unless it is selected as the funding recipient or is otherwise notified by our team.

Your presentation should briefly explain:

• Who your organization serves
• The need you are addressing
• The work your organization is doing
• How the collective donation would be used
• The impact the funding could have in our community

Our team will provide additional guidance and help you prepare before the event.
