The 100 ‘Knifers who Give a Damn group aspires to have a membership of at least 100 Yellowknifers who meet four times a year in Yellowknife, with each member donating $100 per meeting. During each meeting, members nominate and vote on a local charity or non-profit organization to support, and at each meeting one nominated group walks away with at least $10,000!
100 Knifers started in 2016 as “100 Men Who Give a Damn,” followed by “100 Women Who Give a Damn” in 2017. The first 100 Men meeting was held in February 2016, and the first 100 Women gathering took place in July 2017. This giving model exists across Canada, bringing people together to support local causes.
Active members can nominate a Yellowknife-based organization to present at a meeting. After hearing from the nominees, members in attendance vote, and the organization with the most votes receives the collective donations. Members who can’t attend can still contribute their $100 online through the Yellowknife Community Foundation’s giving portal.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, meetings moved online. By fall 2020, the 100 Men group had already donated over $200,000 to local organizations. In June 2023, the group rebranded as 100 Knifers Who Give a Damn, removing the gender binary and welcoming all Yellowknifers aged 19 and older to participate.
