Frequently Asked Questions

  • How long do the meetings last?

    Meetings are scheduled for approximately 1 hour. However, we offer a social time before the meeting for members to get to know each other, network, answer questions about Power of 100, and thank those of you who want to serve the community. 

  • Can I bring a friend to the event?

    Absolutely! Anyone is welcome to attend and observe before deciding if they would like to become a member.  If they love what they see, membership forms will be available at the meeting.  If you hand in a Membership Form before the balloting takes place, you will be allowed to vote at your first event.

  • Is my contribution tax deductible?

    Yes, The Power of 100cc is a public, 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization and all donations are tax-deductible.

  • What if I can’t attend the meeting, do I still get to vote?

    Yes.  Members may participate in our online event which will be steamed via Facebook Live.  Members must pre-register in order to receive online voting instructions and must submit their vote within the 10 minute time allotted.


  • How do I make my donation if I cannot attend a meeting?

    If a member cannot attend a meeting you may:

    1.  Commitment donations can be made online on our website powerof100cc.org  using the Donate tab.  

    2. Mail your completed check to us within 3 days of the meeting. Your check must be made out to The Power of 100cc with the name of charity that received the 

    HOPE Award noted on the memo line.  Mail to POWER of 100 Canadian County, c/o Nancy Campbell, PO Box 2847, Edmond, OK  73083.

  • Can I send my check directly to the charity?

    The goal of the Power of 100cc is to make a large and impactful donation on behalf of the whole organization. We’d like each member’s contribution to be part of this donation.  We also keep a log of your contribution, which qualifies you to nominate a charity and vote at the next meeting.   This makes it important to send the check to the address above if you are unable to attend a meeting.

  • Can more than one member nominate a charity?

    Yes, multiple nominations can increase the chances of a charity being selected for presentation.  Each member must submit her own Charity Nomination Form and be prepared to make a presentation or have a representative for the charity make the presentation.  Members who nominate the charity must be present at the event.

  • Can I nominate a charity and have someone from the charitable organization present on my behalf?

    Yes, members or a representative from the charity are allowed to make the presentation on behalf of their charitable organization.  Members who nominate must be present at the event.

  • How often can a charity be awarded the funds?

    A charity may only be eligible to receive the donation every two-years.

  • What if I don’t want to donate to the charity chosen because my charity wasn’t selected?

    Our goal is to use the power of numbers to make a large donation to four local charities annually. If you feel strongly against our process, we applaud you for donating to a charity of your choice on your own. We do recognize this group and its process may not be everyone’s cup of tea.

  • What if I have a legitimate ethical, religious, or moral objection to the selected charity and/or their mission?

    Please speak to a Board Member and these instances will be handled on a case-by-case basis. 

  • If my charity was not selected at the event, do I need to resubmit it for consideration for the next quarterly event?

    A charity nomination that is not selected for the HOPE Award will automatically be resubmitted for that calendar year.  A quick tip - save your initial form so you don't have to repeat any unnecessary work.

  • What do you do with my personal information?

    Power of 100cc collects your personal information (including name, address, email address, phone number, etc.) strictly for the purpose of communicating and maintaining our membership list. Power of 100cc will not sell, give, or otherwise share your personal information without your expressed consent. We do like to recognize our members via social media and other venues. If a member would like to remain anonymous, please let us know at the time of joining.  

  • How does Power of 100cc financially do it?

    POWER of 100 is organized and operated entirely by big-hearted women who volunteer their time and resources.  We have no employees.  We have established a bank account that is used for operating expenses and was initially funded by our Board of Directors and Founding Member donations.   Since our operating costs are an ongoing expense, we welcome sponsor donations from all sources!   If you, or the company you work for, are interested in donating to our cause, please let us know.  All donations will be tax deductible since we are a non-profit charity.  Donations can be made online by using the Donate tab on our website www.powerof100cc.org.  All donations collected at the Quarterly Member Events go directly to the selected charity!
