Join a community of monthly givers dedicated to mentoring, empowering, and transforming the lives of youth in Indianapolis.
Why Give Monthly Your Monthly Gift Their Lifelong Impact
The 100 Strong Giving Society is a community of committed monthly donors who provide the reliable, sustained funding that powers our mentoring programs, educational initiatives, and leadership development for youth across Indianapolis. Monthly giving allows us to plan ahead, expand our reach, and deepen our impact – ensuring no youth is left behind.
Predictable Funding
Monthly gifts create a stable foundation that allows us to commit to long-term mentoring relationships and program expansion.
Greater Impact Per Dollar
Recurring donations reduce administrative costs, meaning more of every dollar goes directly to the youth we serve in our 9 programs that focus on Economic Empowerment, Education, Mentoring and Health & Wellness
Sustained Mentorship
Mentoring is not a one-time event. Your ongoing support ensures our mentors can walk alongside youth through every stage of growth.
Impact Testimonials"They Didn't Just Mentor Me — They Believed In Me"
Former female program participants who now serves as a volunteer as an adult
“…they’ve been investing in my growth since high school. Yes, it’s led by men—but the impact is communal. I am living proof of that.”
From a mentor
“14 years ago I had my first mentoring experience as a volunteer with the 100. When I walked into IPS 37 to serve it reminded me of being a former IPS student. I remember the insecurity of being a low-income Black student and desiring positive role models. I saw myself in the students. At that moment I understood my assignment which was to be the example they need to see.”
Former program participant speaking of a mentor
“During a difficult time in high school, he provided stability I needed and has stayed in contact for 16 years. His mentorship inspired me to pursue medicine, and I now strive to guide other youth, especially in health care.”
Another former mentee wrote, “He has been a constant presence, supporting me through milestones and challenges alike. Through him, I learned the meaning of ‘What they see is what they’ll be.’ I am proud, grateful and privileged to be a product of his guidance.”
A family with multiple sons who participate in our programs
“It is powerful for our boys to see successful black men showing up for them.”
The mom of a Team Mentoring student recently wrote to the mentors of the 100 Black Men of Indianapolis, “I can’t thank you all enough for the work that you guys are doing. This program has really made a difference, as he is more confident and takes pride in himself.”
