More than Money: Measuring 25 Years of Collective Giving Impact

All Impact 100 members and guests are invited to attend an engaging webinar detailing research findings on the far-reaching effects of 25 years of Impact 100 grants. Join us online Friday, Nov. 13, noon to 1 p.m., to hear University of Cincinnati’s Michael Jones, PhD, talk about his research team’s findings.

Philanos, an umbrella organization for collective giving organizations across the country, is presenting the webinar free to all affiliate members, including our Cincinnati chapter, as well as guests.

As members heard at the 2026 Annual Awards Celebration, one impressive finding was that Impact 100 grantees have seen a 14.9% increase in assets five years after receiving their grant, versus a composite of similar nonprofits across the country. That has translated to asset growth of $185,000 to the median recipient over five years.
