How We Work. . .

It’s simple: We meet. We vote. We donate. . .

“Being of service to others is what brings true happiness.”

It’s simple: We meet. We vote. We donate. . .

Each member commits to donating $100/per event.
Events are conducted in one hour or less.
Each event will open with a five minute update on how the funds donated at the previous meeting were used by the recipient charity.

Any member may nominate a charity for consideration at an event. See below for more details about charities that can be nominated.
The nominating members of three randomly selected organizations will make a brief, informal presentation (no PowerPoint) about the organization to the group.
Each member may vote (by ballot) for one of the three charities. The charity with the most votes will be the recipient charity.

Each member will write a check for $100 to the recipient charity for a total group donation of $10,000 or more.
Members who did not vote for the selected organization agree to make their donation regardless of the voting outcome.
Members will receive a tax receipt directly from the charity.
Members who are unable to attend an event are expected to give their check to another member to deliver on his behalf.

Charities under consideration must serve the Greater Boston areas, and provide individual tax receipts directly to contributing members.
A charity not selected at one meeting may be submitted again at a subsequent meeting.
A recipient charity is not eligible for future consideration, but the nominating member may submit the name of another charity.
The recipient charity must agree not to give out member information to any third parties except for tax purposes.
