How it Works

The Power of 100 is an idea borrowed from other similar organizations that have sprung up across the nation. Members are eligible to nominate Charitable Organizations that benefit Minnesota. At each quarterly meeting, three charities are randomly selected, and the nominating member makes a 5-minute presentation. One charity is chosen by member vote and each member donates $100 to the selected charity. Each meeting has the potential to generate $10,000 for a local charity!
