We need nominations of nonprofits for each meeting.
Please head to the Nominate a Nonprofit page to nominate a favorite local environmental organization by Jan. 7, 2026 for our January 21st meeting.
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:
Attendees will check in and get their name tag. Those who have made their donation will be eligible to vote for one of the three nonprofits nominated for that meeting.
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.
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.
