Non-profits are nominated by our members* prior to meetings. The non-profits then go thru a screening process to confirm they are a 501(c)3 in good standing. Once they are confirmed, they are put in to a "hat" and three non-profits are randomly selected to present at our meetings**.

*Members have the opportunity to nominate ONE non-profit at any time in the year (Our chapter's year is October-April). After our meeting in April, the "hat" is emptied and we start our year with a fresh batch of nominations.
**Non-profits that have been selected to receive the collective donation are not eligible to be nominated again for 2 years. Non-profits that were selected and did not receive the donation will not be eligible to be nominated again after 6 months.
