How We Work

Four times a year, we come together to support organizations that are transforming lives in our community. Through collective giving and shared passion, we amplify our philanthropic efforts and create lasting change. Join us in making a difference where it matters most – right here on PEI.

• Each Member commits to donating $100 per meeting, four times a year (4 consecutive meetings from date of joining the organization). Meetings are diligently conducted in one hour or less.
• Any member who has registered by signing a Commitment Form, and who is current with her donations, may nominate a registered charity for consideration at a meeting.
• Representatives from the three organizations, who were selected from the nominations through an audited draw, will make a five-minute presentation about their organization to the group.
• Each registered member in attendance, who is current with her donations, will vote (by ballot) for one of the three organizations.
• The selected organization will receive a group donation, depending on the number of members!
• Members who did not vote for the selected organization agree to make their donation regardless.
• Members will receive a tax receipt directly from The Community Foundation of Prince Edward Island.
• Members who are unable to attend a meeting are obligated to donate their $100 donation regardless.
• Organizations under consideration must serve the communities of Prince Edward Island.
• An organization not selected at one meeting may be nominated again at a subsequent meeting.
• A successful organization will be eligible for future consideration after a 3-year period.
• Ties will be decided by a draw done by the auditor.
• The selected organization must agree not to give out member information to any third parties except for Canada Revenue Agency.
• Each meeting will have a ten minute presentation from the successful organization from the previous meeting, on how Members’ donations were used.  This will occur while the votes are being counted.
