About

Welcome to the Quincy and Adams County, Illinois Chapter of 100 Who Care. We’re so glad you’re here! All are welcome to join us.

Who Are We:
We are 100 people coming together to do something remarkable for our community! We meet 4 times a year to each contribute $100 towards a $10,000 donation to a local nonprofit.

How it Works:
At our 1 hour quarterly meeting, each member may nominate one eligible local nonprofit for consideration to be funded. We will then choose 3 charities by random drawing. The person who nominated the nonprofit will then have 5 minutes to “pitch” the mission to the group, and the group will vote to choose which nonprofit will receive our combined $10,000 donation!

What’s My Commitment?
When you join 100 Who Care, you commit to donating $400 a year ($100 per quarter) to a local nonprofit that the group chooses. Your membership to the group will automatically renew unless you let us know otherwise.
