Only members of 100+ Women Who Care Tucson are eligible to nominate a charity. Nominations must be submitted at least two (2) weeks before the next quarterly meeting.

Only approved charities will be eligible to go into the “hat”.

Charities must:

• spend a minimum of 70% of annual expenses on program services
• be local and based in the Tucson Metropolitan Area. National or international charities will only be considered if the funds will remain in the Greater Tucson area.
• have 501©(3) status for a minimum of two (2) years.
• be active and in good standing with the Arizona Corporation Commission.
• share three (3) years of 990 tax returns with 100+ Women Who Care Tucson if annual gross receipts exceed $50,000.
• share three (3) years of year-end financial statements with 100+ Women Who Care Tucson, if gross annual receipts don’t exceed $50,000.
• agree to email thank you letters for all donations. Tax receipts will come from The Woman’s Foundation of Southern Arizona, not the charity.
• be actively engaged in the community and executing their mission statement.

Our Charity Selection Guide will help members determine if a charity has a solid foundation and is trending in the right direction fiscally.

Guide Star and Charity Navigator are helpful websites to verify information on charities.

In addition:

• Members of 100+ Women Who Care Tucson may only have one (1) charity nominated at a time.
• There is no limit on how many members may nominate a charity.
• Only present nominating members will place their charity in the hat.
• The member whose name is drawn will present the charity to the group. The member may delegate the presentation to another member. Only members may address the group.
