The Process
Each quarter, members of the 100+ chapter will nominate different Duval County not-for-profits prior to our scheduled meeting date. Three of those nominees will be chosen at random. The nominees will be invited to attend the next meeting where they will have a chance to share their mission and how they will use any donations from the 100+. Members of the Southern Duval chapter will then vote and her $100 donation (given through our online Grapevine account) will be combined with the rest of the chapter’s. The top vote earner will be awarded around $5,000 (or 50% of the donation). Second place will be awarded around $3,000 (30% of the donation). Third place will be awarded around $2,000 (20% of the donation).
