Empowering Local Charities Together
Join 100 Men of Bay St. to impact local communities.
HOW IT WORKS
How It Works
Joining is straightforward. Once you complete the membership form, you become part of a group committed to creating meaningful, high-impact support for local organizations.
Your Commitment
Members contribute $100 each time we gather, and we meet four times per year. The meetings are short, focused, and efficient. Your full annual commitment is $400, and every dollar goes directly to the selected charity.
Nominating an Organization
Members can put forward a charity they believe deserves support. All nominations are collected ahead of the meeting, and from that list a small group of finalists is chosen for the upcoming event. You are not required to nominate, but your quarterly contribution remains part of the collective donation.
Choosing Where the Money Goes
At each meeting, representatives of the finalist organizations (or the members who nominated them) will have a chance to explain the charity’s mission, the impact they make, and how they would use the funds. After the presentations, members vote. The organization with the most votes receives the entire pooled contribution for that quarter.
What We Ask of Presenters
Presentations are kept brief so the meeting stays efficient. A clear overview is all that’s needed:
- Who the organization is
- What they do and who they serve
- Why this funding matters
- How the contribution will be used
- Your connection, if any, to their work
If You Can’t Attend
Your commitment still counts. If you’re unable to join a meeting, you can submit a proxy and have another member vote on your behalf.
A Simple Model With Real Impact
The process is intentionally streamlined. No committees, no overhead, no complexity. Four meetings, four votes, four donations that create direct, immediate benefit for organizations making a difference.
