One of the most meaningful parts of 100 Women Who Care Calgary is hearing members share about charities close to their hearts. Through these nominations, we bring awareness to local organizations, helping them gain support, volunteers, and community recognition.

Who Can Nominate

Charity nominations are a member-only process.

Members who have attended at least one prior meeting will be invited by email to submit a nomination before each meeting. Nominations are not open to the public.

Eligibility Requirements

To be considered, the charity must:

• Serve Calgary and surrounding area populations

• Be a registered charity in good standing with the CRA

• Be able to issue tax receipts directly to individual members

These requirements ensure all nominated charities meet the criteria of our giving model.

How the Nomination Process Works

• Eligible members receive a nomination invitation by email

• Nominations must be submitted at least one week prior to the meeting

• Three nominated charities are drawn at random

• The nominating member speaks on behalf of their charity at the meeting

Nomination FAQs

Do I have to nominate a charity to attend a meeting?
Not at all. Nominations are optional. Many members attend to learn about local charities, participate in the voting process, and be part of collective giving.

How do I submit a nomination?
Members who are eligible to nominate will receive nomination details and a form by email prior to each meeting. Completed forms must be submitted by the stated deadline in order to be considered.

Can a charity be nominated more than once?
Yes. Charities may be nominated again for future meetings. However, once a charity has been selected to receive funding, it is not eligible to be nominated again for two years. At each meeting, three eligible nominations are drawn at random, and the members selected speak on behalf of their chosen charity.
