We’re 100 Men of Dallas
about charities
making positive change in our community
Every three months, we will come together to create an impact within the community, and we’ll do this through the selection of a local charity. Along with our donation, we also spread awareness of these charities.
Eligibility Criteria
In order to be considered to present at a meeting, the charity answer the following:
Can you provide a copy of your 501(c)(3) form for us?
Are you willing to provide our members a contribution letter for tax purposes?
We focus only Non-Profits in Dallas.
What type of “needs” does your organization have: money, volunteers, clothing, food, etc – what’s your greatest need?
Recipients are asked to attend the next quarterly meeting and give a report of how the money was used.
Recipients are asked to commit that the money would be used specifically in Dallas.
