The 100 Who Care chapters, founded and hosted by NorthLakes Community Clinic, are modeled after the national 100 Who Care Alliance movement. This initiative is built on a simple yet powerful giving circle concept.
Join members who pool their resources, learn about local community needs, and collectively decide where to direct their donations. Through this model, we support neighboring nonprofits that work to remove barriers to well-being and strengthen our community.
How It Works
As one of our 100-plus members, you’ll contribute $100 three times per year, creating a collective fund of over $10,000 each time. While individual $100 donations can feel small, together, we donate over $10,000 that can make a meaningful impact in our community!
Nominating Process
After members make nominations, the top three organizations per category will present for five minutes, followed by a Q&A. At the meeting, members vote, and the majority of votes determine the chosen organization. Checks are written that night to the organization. Members who cannot attend may proxy vote before the event or establish a pass-through fund.
