Charities

100 Men of Scugog

100 Men of Scugog is a charitable giving circle of local men supporting Scugog-area charities. Members gather for one-hour meetings at the Port Perry Legion, where three local charities each give a five-minute presentation and answer questions; members then vote and each writes a $100 cheque directly to the winning charity. Every dollar goes straight to local charity — there are no committees, no bank account and no fees. Founded in January 2015, the group celebrated its 10th anniversary in 2025 and has raised nearly a quarter of a million dollars for Scugog-area charities to date, including creating a bursary for Durham College students. New members are welcome at quarterly meetings.

100 Women Who Care Uxbridge

100 Women Who Care Uxbridge is a volunteer-run philanthropic giving circle in Uxbridge. Members each donate $100 at quarterly meetings; the group nominates local registered charities or non-profits, hears short presentations, votes, and the selected organization receives the combined donation of up to $10,000. Meetings last about 60 minutes (registration 7:00 pm, meeting 7:30-8:30 pm). One hundred percent of money raised goes directly to the selected charity, as the group is run entirely by volunteers. Recent recipients include Community Living Durham North, Progressive Life Centre, and Luke's Place.
