What commitment am I making by becoming a member?

Members may withdraw at any time with written notice.
What should I expect at a meeting?
Members will sign-in as they arrive at the meeting. Meetings will take no more than an hour. There will be time to socialize before and after the meeting.
Generally, our meetings will go as follows:
What if I cannot attend a meeting?
If you are unable to attend a quarterly meeting, you will still make your donation online via Growfund prior to the meeting. Attendance at meetings is not mandatory, but the donation is. Absent members may not vote by proxy.
Is membership limited?

How do I nominate a charity?
Once you join our chapter you may nominate a charity. You may have 1 charity nominated at a time. You must provide information about the charity including a contact person and how funds would be used. For more information, please see our Charities section.
Do I have to nominate a charity?
No. Many women like to just show up and give. While all members have the opportunity to nominate a charity, it is not a requirement of membership.
Which charitable organizations are eligible for consideration by the chapter?
Please review our Charities section for eligibility requirements.
Can a charity nominate itself?
No, a charity may only be nominated by a member.
If a member has an affiliation with a charity (i.e. they are an officer, board member, employee, or volunteer), they are allowed to nominate that charity and present on its behalf.
Can I just send the donation to the charity myself?
Sorry, no. The goal of Women Who Care - Las Vegas is to make one BIG donation on behalf of our organization. To make a BIG impact, we want to give thousands of dollars at the end of each group meeting. The only way to do that is to make each member’s donation part of the larger donation. This is the power of being a member. We also need to be able to track your donations so you get credit for the donation and remain in good standing. Only members in good standing can nominate and vote.
How much of my donation goes to the administration costs of Women Who Care - Las Vegas?
Absolutely zero! Women Who Care - Las Vegas is organized and operated entirely by women who volunteer their time. We have no employees or bank account. We do not collect any money. Our operating expenses are offset by generous sponsor donations. However, Growfund assesses a fee and has to pay credit card processing fees totaling 4%.
Can I donate less than $100?
The commitment for members of Women Who Care - Las Vegas is to donate $100 per quarter. Members can nominate charities and vote on which charity our donation goes to. Anyone is welcome to donate any amount at any time using the button on the homepage and it will be added to our combined donation to the charity voted on by members.
Are there other ways to help the charities that have been nominated and/or presented at a quarterly meeting?
Yes! We will maintain a list of approved charities that have been previously nominated and/or selected on our website. You are welcome to contact the charities directly to find out how to help or be involved in other ways.
