How to
Participate
The civic charge of Give 100.
Give 100 is entered not by affiliation, but by participation.
Its charge is simple: to give something of use—in any measure, in her honour—whether to a cause of one’s choosing, or toward the founding of the Institute of Preemptology.
P.E.A.C.E. —
The Charge to a Champion
As a Champion of Give 100, you are called to embody P.E.A.C.E. through five distinct acts over the 100 days.
Propagate Give 100 — inviting Commonwealth citizens to give in any measure, in her honour, whether to a cause of their choosing or toward the founding of the Institute of Preemptology.
Enkindle the observance by lighting the Commonweal Candle on Day 0 (13 June) to honour the Queen’s centenary and inaugurate Give 100, and again on Day 100 as a light for peace.
Advocate for preemptology — the focused discipline of preventive healthcare — through speeches, writings, and civic discourse during the 100 days.
Convene a Century — a gathering of 100 persons — at least once during the 100 days to gather in her honour, and where desired, to direct collective giving toward the founding of the Institute of Preemptology.
Enlist three LAMPs by nominating one male, one female, and one youth to carry the light forward and ensure continuity across generations.
Through these five acts — to Propagate, Enkindle, Advocate, Convene, and Enlist — you give form to P.E.A.C.E. across the Commonwealth.
The LAMP
Structure
The Founding is powered by a structured identification process. Its instrument is the Lead Anchor Municipal Philanthropist — the LAMP: each city’s leading light and beacon of generosity.
The LAMPs help give visible form to the Founding by carrying the light of generosity across the 100 cities.
This is not donor segmentation. It is a structured identification process — curated, assayed, and institutionally consequential.
Each City Champion nominates three leading philanthropists native to or resident in or near their city. Nominations are strictly confidential.
-
◆
The Male LAMP Representing the strength of united philanthropy.
-
◆
The Female LAMP Representing the visible leadership of women, with the Queen as its exemplar.
-
◆
The Youth LAMP (under 40) Representing the inheritors entrusted to sustain preemptology across generations.
Givingtide curates and assays nominations from May 2026, evaluating nominees across three dimensions:
General
Participation
Citizens are not asked to perform institutional roles. Citizens participate by giving what may be given.
They are not required to become Champions, conveners, or institutional stewards. They are asked only to give something useful — in any measure, in her honour.
Citizens participate not by title, but by contribution.
Over the 100 days between 13 June and 21 September 2026, citizens across 100 Commonwealth cities give in whatever form is honest to their means and their moment. There is no minimum. There is no hierarchy of contribution. What matters is that one gives — and that in giving, one becomes part of the Founding.
Citizens may also invite one person. That single act of invitation is how the observance travels — city by city, person by person — in the same spirit as the telegrams she sent, one by one, for 70 years.
What May
Be Given
Give time. Give learning. Give advocacy.
Give resources. Give service. Give anything, in any measure, in her honour.
Hours of presence. Volunteer effort. The gift of attention and labour, offered within the 100 days in any organised form.
Knowledge shared. Skills transferred. Capacity built within communities and institutions toward the discipline of preemptology.
Voice lent. Platform offered. Discourse directed — in civic forums, in media, in professional networks — toward the recognition of preventive medicine as a formal discipline.
Material support in any form. Financial contribution is one expression of resource — neither its governing grammar nor its most consequential form. Any material gift, in any measure, is honoured.
Professional capability placed in service of the Founding. Medical skill, legal expertise, institutional knowledge — offered in organised form, toward a cause that will outlast the offering.
A person may give money. But money appears here as one possible form of resources — not the governing grammar of participation. Give in whatever form is honest to your means and your moment.
The Sovereign Shield opens once.
The Founding Roll is called once.
The question is only whether your city’s lamp is lit.
