HOW TO NOMINATE

Any member in good standing may nominate a local organization. Nomination forms must be submitted no later than 1 week prior to the meeting. If a form is submitted after that date, it will be held for the next meeting.

The maximum number of nominations accepted for any meeting is 4. IF the four nominations are already filled, you will have the option to be on the list for the next meeting.

 

QUALIFIED CHARITIES

All the charities MUST meet the following criteria:

  • Commit to spending a substantial portion of funds awarded by our members in the Salt Spring Island community
  • Be a registered Canadian charity
  • Able to provide individual tax receipts to our members
  • Agree not to solicit our members directly for further contributions
  • Agree not to create, sell or distribute a list with our members’ contact information
  • After funds have been awarded, provide a spokesperson to present to our members at our next meeting

TO NOMINATE A CHARITY

  1. Ensure your charity meets the requirements of a qualified charity.
  2. Fill out a Charity Nomination Form at least 1 week before the next members’ meeting.
  3. Our Organizing Committee will determine if your charity meets our eligibility criteria. Someone will contact you within a few days if there is a problem with the charity’s eligibility.
