What We Do

100 Businesses Who Care is a group of top executives from companies in southeast Michigan who will make an impact on the local community. By combining donations, these companies will make a sizable impact on 501(c)(3) charities serving our own communities.

The idea is simple. Each company will donate $500 bi-annually to an established 501(c)(3) charity serving southeast Michigan. After three “pitches” are presented by members of the group, the members in attendance vote. The non-profit with the most votes is announced and each company writes a $500 check directly to the winning 501(c)(3) organization. As membership grows, so will the donations!

100 Businesses Who Care is not a 501(c)(3) or incorporated business. The Founders and Advisory Board are passionate volunteers who are dedicating their time and talents to make a difference in the community. 100% of the donations are steered directly to the winning non-profit at each meeting.

The concept has already been successful with 100 Women Who Care – Greater Rochester, an organization of 250 women who have gifted over $890,000 to 40 different local 501(c)(3) organizations and has inspired many similar groups to form, in addition to 100 Businesses Who Care.

As of January 2024, our group has gifted over $507,000 to 12 different local not-for-profit organizations.
