Our mission is to use the power of collective giving to make a difference in our OWN community 
We have donated $759,650 so far! ​
JOIN US

NEXT MEETING SCHEDULED FOR TUESDAY, AUGUST 12, 2025 
ZOOM ONLY


WHAT CAN HAPPEN WITH THE POWER OF COLLECTIVE GIVING?

When you donate $100 to a charity, you wonder if you're making a difference.  But when 100 people donate $100 at the same time, they raise $10,000 for  a worthy cause.  That's impact.  And it only takes an hour.

No volunteering, no telemarketing, no event planning, no silent auction donations to solicit.  Simply a great way to give back right in our own community.  Come join with us.

1 minute VIDEO explanation

THIS IS PERFECT FOR YOU IF:

  • You want to help those in need, but  cannot personally commit a lot of time or resources;
  • You want to increase the dollar impact of your own generous contribution by pooling it with others;
  • You want 100% of your donation to go directly to local charities.
And all you need to do is give $100 and one hour of your time four times a year.

Kindred Life
May 2025 Donation

Picture
Continuing with the format of twice yearly hybrid meetings (in-person and Zoom) and twice-yearly Zoom Only meetings, the February meeting was hybrid with the in-person gathering at Half Day Brewing in Lincolnshire.  We heard about three terrific charities, and members voted both in real time on Zoom.

Taking home the big award was 
Kindred Life, presented by Merry Lou Merryman.  This organization provides teen parents with resources (educational and financial) to help them prepare for self reliant adult lives, and we were privileged to hear from one of their success stories. The $500 award went to Special Spaces, presented by Lori Hurcombe, and Special Gifts Theater, presented by Dina Morgan.
