The $100 Challenge: A Simple Way to Give Back and Build Company Culture

What if you could empower your employees to make a real difference in the community while strengthening your company culture? Here’s a simple but impactful idea: The $100 Challenge.

Here’s how it works: Give each of your employees (or a selected group, depending on your budget) a $100 bill with one simple challenge—find a way to give it back to the community.

They can use it however they choose:

• Donate it to a local charity

• Buy supplies for a school, shelter, or food bank

• Support a small business by purchasing meals for those in need

• Pool their money together with teammates to make an even bigger impact

At the end of the challenge, bring everyone together to share their stories. What did they do? Who did they help? How did it make them feel? Then, take it a step further—document their experiences on social media. Not only will this inspire other businesses to give back, but it will also showcase your company’s values in action.

A small investment in generosity can lead to a ripple effect of kindness, engagement, and a deeper connection between your team and the community. Would you take the challenge?
