Question 1

HOW DO WE DETERMINE WHICH CHARITY WILL RECEIVE THE DONATION?

Accepted Answer

Any member can submit a local charity for consideration and the organizations will be vetted by the Leadership Team. The nominating member must submit a Charity Nomination Form (found here ) by the nomination deadline.  Three organizations are selected to be finalists from among the vetted charities. They will present at the event.
 
At the event, after hearing from the 3 charities, the membership will vote as to who will recieve the funds. 
 
The 2 charities that are not elected by the membership return to the pre-vetted bank of charities and will have the opportunity to be chosen at a future event.
 
Events are organized thematically in order to inclusively target the various challenges facing the Montreal community.

WHAT IF I CAN NOT ATTEND AN EVENT?
