The 100 Network is a group of men who come together to make a difference in their communities. Each member contributes $100 every quarter, and those funds are pooled together to support local non-profits. It’s about more than just giving money; it’s about building brotherhood, fostering connections, and creating positive change.

You can join by finding a chapter near you and attending a meeting. Use our interactive map on the “Chapters” page to locate a chapter in your area. If there isn’t one close by, you can even start your own! We provide resources and support to help you get started.

We support a wide range of grassroots organizations that are making a real difference in their communities. This includes non-profits focused on issues like fighting hunger and homelessness, supporting education and youth development, promoting environmental sustainability, and more. You can explore our Non-Profits Directory to learn more about the organizations we partner with.

Each chapter votes on which local non-profits to support. The pooled funds are then distributed to those selected organizations. We strive for transparency and accountability, and many chapters provide updates on how the donations are being used to make an impact.

Beyond the satisfaction of giving back to your community, you’ll also:

Be part of a brotherhood: Connect with like-minded men who share your passion for making a difference.

Make a real impact: See your contributions directly support local causes.

Expand your network: Build relationships with community leaders and non-profit organizations.

Have fun: Enjoy social events and activities with your fellow members.

Most chapters meet quarterly for a voting meeting. The time commitment beyond that is up to you! Many members choose to get more involved by volunteering with supported non-profits or helping with chapter events.

We believe in showing up and keeping each other accountable. In addition to donating $100 each quarter, each member is committing to being in attendance to at least 3 out of 4 meetings each year. In capping the group, we create demand, and therefore keep each other accountable to keep those two commitments. If you aren’t able to give or come to the meetings, it might just not be a good season for you to participate in the group, and that is completely fine. We will fill in someone from the waiting list who can and would love to have you back at some point later when it works out better.

Women have been participating in giving circles for a while and if you look in your community there is a good chance that there is a women’s group similar to this one already. Part of our mission is to get more involvement in community giving from men and to create a space that does not require large commitment, but together delivers a big impact.

Networking and business deals to do come about from our chapters, however, this is NOT the main focus of the group. We are here because we care about creating awareness and financial support for the local nonprofit community and everything that comes about outside of that is a bonus. We have a strict no marketing and soliciting policy within each of our chapters – both from external entities and internal members. Each chapter may present opportunities for sponsorships throughout the year and those are the only situations where it would be permissible to promote a business or special interest.

No. The 100 Network is completely volunteer led. The three co-founders make up the Network Board of Directors and do not take any payment for their work. Our mission is to channel as many resources as possible to the local nonprofits. As the Network grows to multiple chapters, the board has hired part-time assistance to handle some of the administrative and financial aspects of the organization. Taxes have been filed for 2023 and can be sent to anyone requesting to view them.

Every dollar from each member’s $100 quarterly donation goes straight to the nonprofits. In order to do this, we ask each member to donate $50 for the entire year to help cover the expenses related to running the Network and each chapter. This goes towards costs such as federal and state filings, payment fees, part time administrative help, marketing and branding, room rental and other associated event fees, etc.

The 501c3 name is current Wg100 Inc. We started as just one local public charity in Winter Garden, FL. Now that we are expanding and starting up chapters in other local communities, we have filed with the IRS to change our 501c3 name to 100 Network Inc. All chapters operate and file taxes under this one 501c3.

Since starting the Winter Garden, FL group in January 2023, we have had many guys from around the country reach out and ask how to start one in their local community. The best thing we could do for them was give them some advice and send them on their way. We realized a lot of guys may have the time and desire to lead a group, but there is a lot more work that goes into starting a nonprofit and running the administrative and financial side that comes with it. We felt that if we had the ability to support men who had the desire to have a greater impact in their communities, we should help to make that happen. We also feel that we can do more together. We can learn from each other and help each other have an even greater impact in our local communities.
