Board Nominations Now Open
As an Impact 100 member, you know the power we have when we come together to GIVE. Every year, our collective generosity transforms lives and strengthens organizations across our community. Beyond giving, Impact 100 is also about SERVING and LEADING – and we want to make sure every member knows the pathways to step more fully into our mission.
We are introducing a new process for Board Nominations that makes it easier for members to step into leadership:
✨ Nominate Yourself or Others: Every member will now receive the opportunity to nominate themselves—or another member—to serve on the Board. This ensures transparency, inclusivity, and fairness.
✨ A Leadership Pipeline: For members who aspire to Board service but may not be ready just yet, we are creating a natural pipeline. Serving on a Grant Review Team (or another committee like Marketing, Membership, Recruiting or more) for a year or two provides valuable preparation and insight, building capacity to later step toward Board leadership.
✨ Multiple Pathways of Impact: We know every member contributes in their own way. For some, GIVING is the most meaningful contribution. For others, SERVING on a committee brings fulfillment. And for those ready to step forward, LEADING on the Board offers the opportunity to guide the vision of Impact 100 into the future.
We invite you to consider where you are in this journey – and take the next step that feels right for you. Together, we are building not only grants, but also a culture of shared leadership.
