100 MEN OF DANE COUNTY
Together, We Support Children
in Dane County.
100 Men of Dane County is committed to strengthening our community by funding 501(c)(3) organizations focused on children’s needs in Dane County. Each quarter, members evaluate grant applications and select one organization to receive the full group contribution at our grant presentation—turning shared generosity into real-world impact.
Men Leading with Purpose. Investing in Children. Strengthening Dane County.
Guided by a commitment to community, we invest in local organizations that support children in overcoming adversity and developing into capable, compassionate, and responsible adults.
How an Organization is Selected
Our board members gather each quarter to thoughtfully review every grant application received by the deadline (see dates below). From this first round, three standout organizations are selected and
invited to submit a brief, two-minute video so our entire membership can get to know their work.
After viewing the videos and reading through the materials, members cast their votes—and the top-ranked organization becomes our quarterly grantee. The winner is then invited to our next event to receive their grant check and share their story with the group.
​
Thanks to the generosity of our sponsors and the dedicated volunteer time of our board, the 100 Men of Dane County is able to contribute 100% of funds raised directly to the winning organization!
