Prior to the Meeting: 

• Nominations for nonprofits are due two weeks prior to the meeting. 

• Three of the nominated nonprofits will be selected randomly (a "fishbowl" drawing), and the nominating member of each selected nonprofit will be notified so that they can prepare a short "pitch" for their nominated nonprofit.

At the Meeting: 

• Members will check in and get their name tag. Members (submitted membership form & made donation) are eligible to vote for one of the three nonprofits nominated for that meeting. Guests are welcome to observe and, if they wish, donate, but cannot vote.

• For each of the three randomly selected nominated nonprofits, the person who nominated it will give a 5-minute informal pitch for the nonprofit, why they nominated it and how a collective donation could impact it.

• A 5-minute question & answer period will follow each pitch. A member of the nonprofit is encouraged to be there to help answer questions.

• After all three nonprofit pitches, members will vote on which nonprofit they want to receive the collective donation. The voting is secret.

• The ballots will be tallied and the winner announced. Only those attending the meeting in person can vote as we value hearing the pitches.

After the Meeting:

• The 100+ for the Earth organizers will work with the Community Foundation of Southwest Colorado to ensure that all intended donations are received.

• The Community Foundation will issue the chosen nonprofit a check for the amount of the collective donation.
