Your gift can make great things happen.
You already know that we are dedicated to positively impacting the mental, physical, moral, and spiritual development of young people in our community. But you may not know exactly how we can use your gift to make that happen.
Make a gift, make a difference.
Our family has always believed in giving back to the community. One of the organizations that we consistently support is 100 Black Men of Indianapolis. Having been a Beau myself many years ago, I still remember all the life lessons I learned. The 100 has always been an organization that we look to for guidance of our young men and women in the community. We support because we know what we give will go towards making the lives of youth brighter. No matter if we are donating money for scholarships or providing meals, we know that The 100 will make sure it's put to good use.

Our motto is “What they see is what they’ll be,” and our members exemplify that motto by volunteering as role models and mentors. Thanks to a common commitment to help children, we conduct six programs for K-12 students that focus on mentoring, education, and leadership development.
When you give to 100 Black Men of Indianapolis, you help empower the African American youth in our city. Your donations support work and programs that help young men become successful, well-rounded individuals who can make a positive impact on their communities.
A lasting legacy
The 2018 Dollars & $ense Financial Literacy Program was my initial experience with 100 Black Men of Indianapolis. The program provided me with invaluable lessons in fiscal responsibility, equipping me with the knowledge to save and invest wisely. I learned so much from the program that I eagerly participated once more the following year.
What truly distinguishes the 100 Black Men of Indianapolis is their continuous support and mentorship. Even after the conclusion of the Dollars & $ense Financial Literacy Program, these incredible individuals remained steadfast supporters throughout my college career, and during my sophomore year, I was appointed President of the Collegiate 100 at IUPUI/Ivy Tech—a sub-chapter of 100 Black Men of Indianapolis specifically designed for college students. This journey has indelibly shaped my character, and I am forever honored to be part of this exceptional organization.
