Events will take no more than one hour. We aim to start at 6:30pm and should be done by 7:30pm. There is time for social gathering and networking before the formal part of each meeting.

Expect to sign-in at the registration desk.

Yes, by the charity chosen to be the recipient. Your $100 check is written directly to the charity, NOT to “100 Men Who Care” (because we don’t have a bank account or a treasurer). Tax receipts will be issued to you directly by the charity.  

If a member cannot attend a quarterly event, he should place his blank $100 check in an envelope marked “100 Men Who Care” and give it to a fellow member who will be going to the meeting. Member can also send in a proxy ballot if you want a fellow member to vote for you.

Nope, because we want to see you at our meetings to cast your vote.

You can always donate more to a charity separately on your own but for the purposes of 100 Men Who Care, we make one big donation as a group. To make a big impact we want to give $10,000+ dollars.

Nope, more than 100 are welcome.

There is already a 100 Women Who Care Knoxville group. 

Yes, but we’ll ask them to join as a member at the door.

We may occasionally recognize our members via social media and other media.

Nominated charities go into a hat at the meeting and three charities are drawn at random. The members who nominated each charity give short five-minute presentations at the meeting. We then vote to select the recipient charity.

Any local, 501(c) registered charity that can offer a tax refund to each member is eligible. Guidestar and Charity Navigator can also help you in your vetting process.  Charity organizations will also need to sign an Acceptance Agreement before receiving the checks.

No, charities may only be nominated by a member. Our members are not just interested in nominating and donating – they want to learn about local causes. They may want to volunteer, sponsor or serve on a board or committee. They may even become a regular donor or benefactor.

Zero. 100 Men Who Care Southern Maine is organized and operated entirely by volunteers. We have no treasurer and we have no bank account – because we don’t collect, spend or donate anything. 100% of funds raised at a meeting go directly to the chosen charity.
