Nominate a Charity

 FAQs

  • A call for nominations is announced about one month before the next event. Be sure to whitelist our email to get the news right to your inbox.

  • Nomination forms must be submitted at least two weeks prior to the next event by an eligible Member or Team:

    1. Only Members of 100 WWC Hamilton-Wentworth are eligible to submit nominations (Psst! You can join here!)

    2. You must have attended at least 1 prior event as a Member

    3. You must be in good standing by being compliance with our 1-year membership commitment

  • If you’re thinking of submitting a nomination, double-check that the charity meets our eligibility criteria.

    Charities must be:

    • Local - The charity is Canadian and serves the Hamilton-Wentworth area. (Consideration will be made to National or International charities if they are federated, have local chapters, or have the ability to direct funding to specific local projects)

    • Registered - We ask that nominated organizations are able to issue tax receipts to donating members

    • Committed to safeguarding members’ information - The organization will not contact the members directly except to issue tax receipts. All other communications will be handled through the Leadership Team

    • Not a recent donation recipient - In order to let all worthy causes share the spotlight, charities that have received a donation from our 100 WWC chapter are ineligible for nomination 3 years following receipt of their donation (please see the list of past recipients)

  • Nominees will be vetted by the Leadership Team to verify eligibility and added to our list of nominated charities for presentation and funding consideration. Prior to the event, there will be a draw to select who gets to present their charity.

  • Please refer to the presentation guidelines here.

  • With so many worthy causes, the decision is often tough. If your charity was presented but did not get selected to receive a donation, don’t lose heart – you can resubmit the nomination 1 more time in the same calendar year.
