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 during the Give 100 observance year.
Propagate Give 100 — inviting Commonwealth citizens to give in any measure, in Queen Elizabeth II’s honour, whether to a cause of their choosing or toward the founding of the Institute of Preemptology.
Enkindle the observance by honouring the Opening Semidon on International Day of Peace 2026, and by sustaining the light of peace, service, and prevention throughout the observance year.
Advocate for Preemptology — the discipline of eliminating the preventable aspect of disease — through speeches, writings, and civic discourse during the observance year.
Convene a Semidon — a cause-seeding gathering to awaken, organise, or multiply support for the Give 100 cause — after the formal opening of the observance on International Day of Peace 2026. Convening is a Champion act; citizens participate by giving what may be given.
Enlist by nominating or helping identify LAMPs and LAMP Companions who can carry the light of generosity forward and ensure continuity across generations in the City.
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.
Each City ultimately has one Founding LAMP, who carries the City’s civic light toward the culminating Semidon in Toronto. Each City may also have two LAMP Companions — companion lights who sustain and extend the City’s participation throughout the observance year.
This is not donor segmentation. It is a structured identification process — curated, assayed, and institutionally consequential.
Champions may nominate leading philanthropists native to or resident in or near their City, across three streams of civic leadership. Nominations are strictly confidential and flow into a curation and assay process through which one Founding LAMP and up to two LAMP Companions are identified per City.

Male Leadership Representing the strength of united philanthropy.

Female Leadership Representing the visible leadership of women, with the Queen as its exemplar.

Youth Leadership (under 40) Representing the inheritors entrusted to sustain Preemptology across generations.

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.
Throughout the Give 100 observance year, from International Day of Peace 2026 to International Day of Peace 2027, 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 in any organised form during the observance year.
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 Commonwealth is invited once.
The question is only whether your City’s lamp is lit.
