If your nominated non-profit is picked out of our hat to be presented at the next meeting, you will be contacted by one of our organizers with the good news about 2-3 weeks before the meeting. The non-profit description that you submitted with your nomination will be put on our website as well as in the email that goes out to the membership announcing the 3 nominees.

You should prepare a 5 minute presentation describing why your non-profit should be chosen, what the charity would do with a $10,ooo+ gift, how it would impact the community, how many people would be impacted, etc. We ask that you do not bring any materials, handouts or visuals–your passion for the non-profit will speak for itself! A person timing you will subtly indicate when your 5 minutes is up.

There will also be an additional 5 minutes for members to ask you questions. You may answer the questions yourself, or you may bring a staff member from the non-profit to answer the questions for you. Please remember that the second 5 minutes are not meant to be an opportunity to further “sell” the membership on the charity, and you or the staff member should stick to answering questions during this period.
