Can I bring a friend to a meeting?
Of course — the more the merrier! She may attend as a guest, but if she wishes to vote for a charity, we’ll ask her to become a member by DONATING.
What about men?
There is a 100 Guys Who Care Boston group. Check out their web site to learn more.
Can I just send the donation to the charity myself?
You can always donate more to a charity separately on your own, but for the purposes of 100 Who Care Cape Ann, we make one big donation as a group. To make a big impact we want to give $10,000+ dollars!
What if my company offers matching donations?
When a charity recipient is chosen, a donor may organize a matching donation with her organization. She should contact her organization for further details.
What if I cannot attend an event?
If a member cannot attend an event, she may donate online and submit her vote for one of the three nominated charities 24 hours prior to the meeting to vote@100whocarecapeann.org.
Is my donation tax deductible?
Yes, a tax deduction receipt from Global Impact will be received via email immediately after a member submits her online contribution, or every quarter when their recurring payment is completed. If a check has been submitted, this receipt will be mailed to you. Global Impact is our partner which collects donations and administers the grant
May I give you a check instead of donating online?
We strongly prefer an online donation via credit card, but if you prefer you may bring a check to the meeting. Please leave the “Pay To” line blank; we will fill it in with the name of the winning charity and give it directly to them.

How long do the meetings last?
We like to call them gatherings because they are more fun than meetings! The formal part of the gathering is 1 hour, from 6:00 to 7:00pm. But there is time to socialize before and after as the event runs from 5:30 to 7:30pm, and there is a cash bar.
