While every gift to a non-profit is beneficial, the collective effect of Impact 100 is truly life-changing. With Impact 100, many smaller gifts combine to become one large gift, creating what the first recipient described as “the biggest Christmas present we could ever get.” For every 100 members, Impact 100 donates at least $100,000 to a worthy non-profit within our ten county region. The number and amount of grants are determined each year by the number of women who join Impact 100 as members. The more members we have, the more grants we can give. Your contribution provides a direct and immediate benefit: 100% of your member contribution is given away each year as part of our collective grants.
There are many ways to help Impact 100, in addition to your membership. Here are just a few:
Become an Impact 100 event sponsor - help to underwrite expenses associated with events
Become a Friend of Impact - as a friend, your donation helps to cover overhead expenses related to the infrastructure of the organization - i.e. audit, insurance, website hosting, etc.
In kind donations - copying and printing services, event planning, public relations expertise, flowers, catering, etc. are appreciated to help keep overhead expenses low
Refer a friend, colleague, family member, etc. - word of mouth is the most effective way to help Impact 100 to give out more grants, by increased membership.
