How It Works
Members donate $100 (or $50 each for a team of two) four times a year. (Our membership generally hovers between 180 to 190 at any given time, so we plan on about $18,000 in donations each quarter.)
Members may nominate one local nonprofit each quarter to be the top recipient of our pooled donations for that quarter.
After vetting each nominee for eligibility, the steering committee randomly selects three of them to present at our upcoming membership meeting.
Members attending the meeting vote for one of the three organizations to be the primary recipient of that quarter’s gift.
We allocate $10,000 of our pooled funds to the top recipient and split the rest equally between the other two organizations.
In addition, the top recipient stands to receive another $5,000 thanks to the Richard M. Schulze Family Foundation’s generous 50% matching grant program. As one of the giving circles in the U.S. invited into this program, we apply for this grant each quarter on the winning organization’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 grant.
Team Members: You agree to donate $50 each every three months, for a yearly total of $200 per person and $400 per team.
You agree to pay your donation within one week of the quarterly membership meeting, regardless of whether you attended that meeting or voted for the top recipient.
You must be 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.
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!
