Almost 300 people gathered to socialize, network, make new friends, hear from nonprofit finalists, select four (4) $101,000 grant recipients, and celebrate the power of Impact 100’s collective giving by awarding these significant grants that will have a lasting impact in the community. Lives will be changed through the work of our recipients: Life Learning Center, City Gospel Mission, Price Hill Will, and Found Village. Our Annual Awards Celebration is the culmination of the year’s work to fulfill Impact 100’s mission:
The women of Impact 100 dramatically improve lives in our Greater Cincinnati community by collectively funding transformational grants that make a lasting impact.
While also moving us forward in our vision:
To be a significant catalyst for creating an equitable and thriving community for all.
In the coming months, we will:
- Finalize contracts with each of our grant recipients
- Hold several Spread the Word events to introduce YOUR friends to Impact 100
- Kick off the 2023 (!) Grant Cycle with several training sessions for the nonprofit community
- Celebrate philanthropy and the spirit of collective giving at Impact 100’s Giving Tuesday.
- Ask that YOU, our members, continue to support this work by RENEWING your membership for 2023. Ask YOU, our members, to INVITE others to join us in this journey of philanthropy and collective giving, to award significant grants that have a lasting impact in our community.
- Invite YOU to continue to support our Grant Finalists and Grant Recipients through their Wish Lists.
- WATCH for details on how you might get involved sharing your time and talents with our awesome Grant Recipients through some volunteer opportunities.
I ENCOURAGE you to take the time to read through all the ways that you can be informed, be involved, and help to support, grow, and sustain Impact 100 and the work that we do TOGETHER to make a difference in the Greater Cincinnati community. I know that there are many more women who would love to be a part of Impact 100 if they knew about it and all the wonderful women PHILANTHROPISTS who help to catalyze change in lives and the community. THANK YOU for being a part of this journey!
Warm regards,
Kathy Thornton
Impact 100 President
