About

Jack and Elaine listened about a group sitting around a fire pit discussing how a group of Men and Women in Hilton Head had a major impact on a charity that had captivated us – How a group of people could make such an impact in a one hour meeting.

They saw how 100 Men and Women, met for one hour, discuss local needs and made a $15,000 donation to local non profit - BackPack Buddies. They then said, we can do this!

They contacted the group for the secret recipe which turned out to be the same formula used by over 900 organizations nationally and coached by the 100 Who Care Alliance. The cat was out of the bag. We definitely could do this.

In the winter of 2022, they outlined how we wanted to spread the word to have an impact in the Concord area.

By the summer, they had a group committed to make a difference.

The goal is to support charities and non-profit organizations dedicated to serving and making a difference in the local Concord area. These organizations are almost all under-resourced and providing critical services. Together, we dramatically multiply our individual impact.

A group of friends with a common vision for our community

Our mission is to positively enable the local community by making a financial contribution to a local charity four times a year. As a result of our work together, we also expect to find other ways to make a difference.

The founding principles

The 100 People Who Care of Concord was inspired by our partner organization, the 100 Men & Women Who Care of Hilton Head Island, and similar chapters around the country.

We are a local group from different backgrounds who are committed to making a positive impact in the Concord area. We each pledge individually $100 per quarter.

The concept

A group of people who want to give to our community and see this program as a way to combine resources, drastically increasing the impact of our giving. We have leadership who plan and organize events and developing a group of sponsors that help cover expenses. We strive to financially support local charities, raise exposure, and increase awareness in a simple and quick format.

Thanks to those around the fire pit, the initial email feedback and the ones who attended the first meeting.
