100 Women who Care

100WWCFernie is for women, living in the Elk Valley, who have limited time to volunteer but a BIG heart for giving. We believe that a greater impact can be achieved when 100 like-minded women come together with a single purpose…to do good for our communities.

 

How does 100WWCFernie work?
– Members must make at least one donation of $100 and attend one Giving Event per year. Events are held twice per year, in the Spring and Fall
– Giving Events are casual in nature, think stand-up networking event. Food & beverages are available for an additional cost.
– Members register online to attend a Giving Event; the cost is $100 + Eventbrite processing fees.
– Members registered for a Giving Event can nominate a local cause that is important to them.
– In advance of the event, six causes will be drawn out of a hat and the six nominators are asked to make a 2-minute pitch at the Giving Event. The nominator must be at the event and is the ONLY person who can make the pitch.
– At the end of the pitches, members vote for their two preferred causes. Proxies are not allowed.
– The two causes with the most votes share the total funds raised 50/50.
