Nominate a charity

All members are encouraged to nominate a charity from the greater Boston area. View guidelines for appropriate charities.
-
Members may nomination at a charity at any time via an online form.

All nominated charities are captured in a "hat" for consideration at a future meeting.
-
Two weeks prior to each event, three charities are selected at random for discussion at our next meeting.
-
Members linked with the nominated charities, are notified that their charity will be discussed. Members may bring a guest to help support their presentation of the charity.
​
Join a quarterly event
-
Events are open to members and their guests
-
Once a quarterly event is scheduled, members are notified of the planned date and location; we ask members to RSP for each event via our online form.
-
Events are conducted in two hours or less.
-
At each event the charity selected at our previous meeting is invited to join us and provide an update on how our donated funds benefited the non-profit's mission.
-
The nominating members of the three randomly selected charities make a brief, informal presentation (no PowerPoint) about the organization to the group. Members may invite a member of the charitable organization to join them for their presentation.
-
After our three presentations are complete, we vote and select our next donation recipient. Members unable to attend an event may vote via email. Guests are not eligible to vote.
-
All donations are awarded to the selected charity for a total group donation of $10,000 or more.
