South Sound 100 has partnered with The Giving Group – an easy and secure way to make your quarterly gift!
Opt-in to make automatic electronic donations. All you have to do is sign-up, you don’t have to attend the quarterly events to give, your gift will be automatically taken out.
Each quarters’ collective gift is taken out, via Giving Group, 7 days prior to each event, so if you would like to participate in nominating & voting at the next upcoming event, please make sure you sign up prior. This allows us to accurately share how much will be given to the selected nonprofit day of.
If you don’t want to sign up with The Giving Group, please bring a blank $100 check to the meeting.
We ask that everyone who attends commits to giving $100 to the nonprofit that receives the most votes. Think of your $100 gift as your ticket to vote.
Nominating. We ask that all nominations be registered 501(c)(3) or 501(c)(4), and that no nominations are politically motivated or religious focused. Only members can nominate a nonprofit.
Presenting. In order to place your name, and that of a nonprofit you are passionate about into the basket for an opportunity to present, you must have committed (via The Giving Group) to making a gift each quarter, even if you can’t attend the meeting. Presentations will be exclusively led by members, we ask that no guest speakers speak on your behalf.
Guests. We encourage guests to attend and learn more about South Sound 100, including Executive Directors or key partners. While guests cannot present, you can engage in meaningful conversations and connections during the socal time. If a member feels compelled to support your presentation, they are welcome to do so—as long as they are a member of South Sound 100.
Guests can only attend once, and they can not vote, present or participate in the Q&A.
At each gathering, we will randomly pick four non-profits and then the nominator will give a brief (less than 5 minute) presentation followed by a brief Q&A.
Members vote on which cause to support. The non-profit that receives the most votes will be awarded $10,000+ in donations ($100 from each of the 100 members).
You did something pretty powerful and amazing.
“We are so grateful for this very generous donation! We have 7,970 girls in our area with high needs and they do not have access to personal hygiene products to use on a daily basis. Each care bag costs approximately $20 and this donation from SS100 will fill 450 care bags!

“Thanks to the funding from South Sound 100, we were able to purchase audio equipment to create a recording studio. Youth in incarceration will be able to record poems, songs, and stories under the guidance of recording artists and spoken word poets.”

“We were able to purchase six handheld GPS units, a new litter for carrying injured people–the ones we were using is 15 years old and falling apart–and printers that can print on waterproof paper so rescuers can be sure their maps won’t get ruined if they get wet.”
