Questions?

We value your time! Our events are designed to be high-impact and efficient, lasting one hour or less. We meet once per quarter (four times a year) during the following months:

• February

• May

• August

• November

Keep an eye on our calendar for specific dates and locations!

Our events are fast-paced, inspiring, and high-impact. Here is how we turn our collective donations into a major gift in just 60 minutes:

Step 1: Nominate & Draw We draw 3 names from our pool of eligible nonprofits. Nominating members give a quick "elevator pitch" for their cause.

Step 2: Vote & Give We vote, announce the winner, and everyone fulfills their $100 commitment through Grapevine. One big check, one big impact!

Step 3: Follow-Up We hear back! Past winners visit us to share their success stories, so you see your donation in action.

Can’t attend? You can still give! Life happens, but our mission continues. If you miss a quarterly meeting, you’ll receive an update with the winning nonprofit’s details. You can then fulfill your $100 commitment directly through Grapevine. Your contribution is just as vital to the total gift whether you're there in person or cheering us on from home!

Our impact comes from our collective promise. To keep our giving circle strong, we ask each member for two things:

1. A Financial Commitment Each member commits to donating $100 quarterly ($400 per year). 100% of these funds go directly to local nonprofits making a difference right here in the Treasure Valley.

2. Staying in "Good Standing" Being a member in Good Standing simply means you are up to date on your quarterly donations. This is important because it protects the integrity of our voting process.

Why Good Standing Matters: Only members in Good Standing are eligible to:

• Nominate a local nonprofit.

• Present on behalf of a cause during an event.

• Vote to select the quarterly recipient.

Note: Members who miss more than two (2) payments will no longer be considered in Good Standing. If you need to pause your membership, please reach out to us!

Plus-Ones are encouraged! Bringing a friend is the #1 way our impact grows. Your guest is welcome to enjoy the evening and hear the nonprofit presentations alongside you. Because our $100 commitments are what create the "big check," only members receive a voting token.

We love your passion! To keep our process fair and impactful, only active members may nominate and present.

• Just joined? Welcome! We ask that you join us for two events first. It’s the best way to see the "magic" in action before you pitch your own favorite cause.

• Required Paperwork: To get started, please fill out the two nomination forms found under the "Nominations" tab on our website.

To ensure our collective gift makes the biggest impact possible, we’ve set a few simple criteria for our nonprofit partners:

• IRS Status: Must be a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.

• Proven Track Record: We look for organizations that have been in operation for at least two (2) full years. (We love the heart of a start-up, but we prioritize established programs for our quarterly awards!)

• Local Focus: 100% of our contributions stay right here in the Treasure Valley. To qualify, the nonprofit must be located in and primarily serve Ada, Boise, Canyon, Gem, or Owyhee counties.

Pro-Tip for Members: Not sure if your favorite cause qualifies? You can use tools like Charity Navigator or Candid (formerly GuideStar) to check their status and impact!

We require this designation to ensure that all nominated nonprofits are vetted by the IRS and that your donations remain tax-deductible.

However, we go a step further! To align with our mission, we look for nonprofits that serve our local Treasure Valley community with a specific heart for education, family services, and health and wellness.

We partner with Grapevine to manage our collective giving. By pooling our contributions, we turn individual $100 gifts into one BIG, powerful donation that creates a lasting ripple effect for our selected nonprofit!

Why we love Grapevine:

• Your Privacy Matters: Grapevine doesn’t share your personal info with nonprofits. You can support the cause without your inbox being flooded with mailing lists!

• Instant Tax Receipts: No more searching for paperwork. You’ll get an email receipt immediately after every donation.

• Total Convenience: It’s the easiest way to stay in "Good Standing" and ensure your gift is counted toward the total.

The Power of Recurring Giving We meet every February, May, August, and November. We strongly encourage setting up a recurring quarterly donation. It’s "set it and forget it" for you, and it helps us give the winning nonprofit a much more accurate estimate of their award on the night of the event!

How to Set Up Your Gift:

1. Visit our Grapevine page [Link Here].

2. Select "Join this Grapevine."

3. Sign up with your email and select "Donate."

4. Under Frequency, choose Quarterly.

5. Choose your payment method (Credit Card or Bank Transfer) and you’re all set!

Note on Fees: Grapevine doesn't charge a fee, but their payment processor does. To ensure more of your money goes to the charity, consider a bank transfer, which has a much lower fee than credit cards.

To make our collective gift as powerful as possible, we process all donations through Grapevine. Sending funds directly to the nonprofit makes it difficult for us to track our total impact and keep your membership status up to date. By pooling our resources in one place, we show the community exactly what 100+ women can do when they stand together!

Yes! All $100 contributions made through Grapevine are directed to verified 501(c)(3) charitable nonprofits in good standing with the IRS and are tax-deductible to the fullest extent of the law.

• Receipts: You will receive an email receipt immediately after completing your donation through Grapevine for tax purposes.

• Privacy: Grapevine does not share your personal member information with the winning nonprofits.

Every single penny. 100% of your $100 donation goes directly to the selected nonprofit.

100 Women for Good Boise is operated entirely by volunteers who believe in the power of collective giving. To ensure our impact is as pure as possible, all of our operational costs—like web hosting, domain fees, and IT—are covered by our co-founders and generous members who give specifically to our "overhead fund." When you give $100 to a cause, $100 arrives at their door.

To ensure we provide support to as many diverse causes as possible across the Treasure Valley, we follow a two-year rotation:

• Selected Winners: Once an organization is chosen to receive our collective donation, they are eligible to be nominated again after two (2) years.

• If they weren't selected: If a nonprofit was nominated but not drawn or did not win the vote, they stay in the drawing for the next event!

100 Women for Good Boise began with a simple conversation between Kathy Coprivnicar and Amy Haugen in late 2019. They wanted to bring a proven giving model to the Treasure Valley—one that was fast, simple, and incredibly powerful.

Today, we are part of a global community of more than 500 chapters. By participating in the 100 Who Care Alliance, Kathy and Amy stay connected with leaders worldwide to bring the best ideas and most efficient practices back home to our Boise members. You can learn more about the global movement at 100whocarealliance.org.

Yes! 100 Men for Good Boise is our "brother" organization here in the Treasure Valley. You can find more information about their meetings and mission by visiting their website directly: 100 Men for Good Boise
