Which Organizations can be Sponsored?

To be considered for a donation the organization must serve the Greater Venice area and must be a 501(c) (3) charity.  National charities may only be considered if the donation is going to a local chapter and will be used locally.  The charity cannot be political in nature.

What is a 501(c)(3) charity?

​Being a 501(c)(3) charity means the charity has been approved by the IRS.

Is my contribution tax deductible?  How do I get my tax receipt?

Yes, your contribution is eligible for a tax deduction.  Checks are written directly to the local charity NOT to 100 Women Who Care.

May I send the donation to the charity myself?  Why do you have to send it on my behalf?

The goal of 100 Women Who Care Greater Venice is to make one large collective donation on behalf of the entire membership.  We know $10,000 will make a big impact in our community.
