Who Care

San Diego

One hour. One cause. One hundred men. Together, we are changing lives across San Diego — one meeting at a time.

Mission: Strengthening San Diego Communities Through Collective Giving

Collective Giving. Real Change.

100 Men Who Care San Diego brings together civic-minded men committed to strengthening our community through focused, efficient philanthropy. No lengthy committee meetings. No fundraising campaigns. Just 100 men, giving back four times a year.

🤝

Community First

100% of donations stay in San Diego County, supporting local nonprofits that serve our neighbors.

One Hour Only

We respect your time. Meetings run exactly one hour — focused, efficient, and meaningful.

📣

Member Nominated

Every nonprofit is nominated by a member. You choose where the money goes — democratically.

Simple by Design.

We stripped away the complexity of traditional philanthropy so that giving is something every man can commit to — no matter how busy his schedule.

1

Attend a Meeting

Members gather quarterly for a one-hour meeting. Three nonprofits are nominated by members and present briefly to the group.

2

Vote

Members vote for the organization they believe deserves the grant. The nonprofit with the most votes wins the full pot.

3

Write a Check

Each member writes a check directly to the winning organization. No middleman. No overhead. 100% impact.

The Power of 100

When 100 men each give $1,000, the result is extraordinary. Four meetings a year means up to $100,000 per meeting deployed directly into San Diego communities.
