Women Who Care October 2024 Meeting, The Carolina Inn

We are Women Who Care and we strive to make an impact on Durham and Orange Counties - we hope that you can join us at our next meeting, Thursday, October 3rd!

Our Mission is To Be The Change We Wish to See In Our Community. $100 at a time.

Based on a simple philanthropic concept gaining momentum throughout the country, Women Who Care focusing on Durham and Orange Counties is a newly formed group of caring women who meet for one hour, four times a year to benefit our local community. Any woman willing to commit to donating $100 given out at out one-hour meetings can join. Donations will be given to local charities, nonprofit organizations or other “worthy causes” serving the local community. Any attendee can request donations to a favorite charity.

WHAT DOES A MEETING LOOK LIKE?

At each quarterly meeting, all attendees who would like are able to submit a nomination of an organization. Three names are drawn at random and those three nominators each have 5 minutes to talk about their charity. Attendees then vote for one of the three charities and the majority rules. Checks for $100 from each attendee are written directly to the organization chosen. At future meetings, organizations that have received funding will be asked to provide 10 minute presentations about the impact of the donation. We are committed to show the value of your time - meetings will not go over 1 hour!

Nominated organizations should be a registered 501c3, and one within Durham or Orange County limits.

HOW TO NOMINATE A CHARITY

• Come prepared to enter the charity's name and your name into the drawing at the beginning of the meeting, 3 charities will then be drawn for presentations.
• If chosen, you will present (5 minutes) on the charity, what they do, and what the money would be used for.
• Must be a charity in Durham or Orange County limits and be a registered 501(c)3.
• Ensure that you know how checks should be made out for that particular organization and if they have an online donation option.
• Have a contact person at the organization.
• After the 3 presentations, a vote will be taken of those in attendance and a charity will be chosen. Majority wins.

WE HOPE TO SEE YOU THERE!

Come join like-minded women who want to be the change we wish to see in our community. It takes only one hour four times per year and other chapters have made significant strides in their communities.

Please pass on the word! The more, the merrier...and the more money donated. Please share this event with anyone you think may be interested in attending.
