Are you a North Dundas based charity that has a worthy project to support?

Eligibility Criteria

Must be a North Dundas based organization and/or the project must benefit North Dundas residents and communities

Must be non-profit and be able to issue registered tax receipts within 30 days after the event (at your mailing cost)

Your proposal should focus on a one-time project but could also include on-going operating expenses.

The project must not be located on private property.

You should be prepared to have at least one estimate of the cost of completing your project.

You should have considered whether there are any impediments (bylaws etc.) that might restrict completion of the project.

You should include a justification for the wish/need for this project.

Nomination Process

All applications/projects will be reviewed by our volunteer committee. We are unsure of how many charities will apply, but we may have to cap the number of groups participating. The volunteers will do their best to balance geographic, project types, and other factors to have many wonderful projects options be presented.

Successful applicants will be notified and our volunteers will work with them to make sure they are ready for the big event!

We are unsure if we can select all organizations/projects to participate because of space/time requirements. However, should you not be successful, there is no need to worry. We plan to make this an annual event so there will be other opportunities to participate!

Expectation of Nominated Candidates

Our volunteer committee will work with each organization to make sure you are prepared for a successful pitch to the participating women at the event. However, before submitting your application, please be aware that these are the requirements to participate:

Pre-event: A committee member will contact you before the event so that you can get advice on how to be successful on the night of the vote or answer any questions you may have.

You will be provided a spot for a display space during the social hour (6:30-7:30pm) before the meeting starts at 7:30pm.  An eye-catching display will attract interest.

It is a good idea to have handouts so that, should people be rushed, they will have an opportunity to read about your project before they vote.

All nominees will speak for 2-3 minutes (exact set time to be confirmed), prior to the event.

Should you be successful, you must issue tax receipts for the funds received within 30 days after the event.

Lastly, at the following year’s event, you will be asked to return and provide a brief update on how your funds were spent and to let us know how the funds benefited the North Dundas community

How to Apply

We’ve tried to make this as simple as possible. Submit an email to info@100northdundas.com with the following information:

• Name of Organization/Charity
• Website and/or social media link
• Contact Name, Email, and Phone Number
• Description of project in 250 words or less (including total budget, timeline for completion, etc.)
• Confirmation that your organization can issue charitable tax receipts (sample copy of receipt could be attached in email)

One of our volunteers will follow up with you if we require any further information, and to let you know the next steps as we review the applications.

Selected Participating Charities

Once the committee has approved/selected the participating charities for this year’s North Dundas 100 Women Who Care event, a brief profile on each group/organization/project will be posted here so that the participating women can learn more in advance of the actual event.
