The second-quarter meeting of the 100+ People for Perry charity group was held Monday night at La Poste and following the presentation of three projects, the members selected the Perry Rotary Club Wiese Park inclusive playground project to receive a grant of $7,200.

The mission of 100+ People for Perry is to invest in Perry’s future by supporting current charities, nonprofits and worthy projects that advance the quality of life. After 22 meetings, the group has pledged $154,800 to local non-profit projects.
The goal of 100+ People for Perry is to make four large donations each year that will impact the Perry community. Each contribution stays 100% in the community. No national charities will be considered.
Each charity/non-profit/worthy cause must be a 501 (c)(3) or sponsored by a 501 (c)(3), be project based and must benefit the Perry community. Non-profit organizations may be found at the online Nonprofit Directory.
Only members may attend meetings and present projects.
