Ready to Make an Impact?

Become a Member

When you become a member of Impact 100, you join a collective of women creating transformational change in our Tri-state (Greater Cincinnati, Northern Kentucky and Eastern Indiana) area. We offer three membership levels ranging from $500 to $1500 and every dollar of your membership funds life-changing grants. You help choose the local nonprofits that receive $100,000 to improve our community.

What You Give and What You Gain

Impact

Your contribution will help spark lasting change in the Tri-state area. Think of your membership as your annual launchpad for good.

Learning

You’ll develop a deeper understanding of needs in Greater Cincinnati, local nonprofits with unique solutions, and the value of collective giving.

Connection

You’ll connect with inspiring nonprofits and purpose-driven, compassionate women who lead with generosity.

Choosing Your Level of Giving

Every contribution — at every level — drives powerful change. We provide options so you can give an amount that’s comfortable for you. Your only membership requirement is a tax-deductible donation at one of the membership levels described below. Everything else — events, committees, hands-on involvement — is yours to explore, if and when you’re ready.

Amplify ($1,500)

Expand our reach and deepen our impact.

Accelerate ($1,000)

Make meaningful impact at the standard giving level of our founding members.

Activate ($500)

Join a broad base of women to make transformational change.

Young Philanthropist

Women under 40 can apply for partial scholarships toward membership to build a foundation of life-long giving.

Membership Cycle

You can join Impact 100 at any time and immediately connect with a vibrant community of women and the inspiring work of local nonprofits. Annual dues, paid between January and December, directly fund the transformational grants we award the following year. To participate fully in the 2026 grant process—including casting your vote for our $100,000 grant recipients—you must become a member by December 31, 2025.

We offer annual and monthly payment options. You can register online and pay one of the following ways:

Frequently Asked Questions

When can I join Impact 100?

You can join at any time. To participate in the annual selection of the final grant and award recipients in September, you must complete your membership payments by December 31 of the preceding year. We welcome all those joining after December 31 to participate in Impact 100 events, committees, and volunteer activities for the year.

Can I give an Impact 100 membership as a gift?

Yes, absolutely! You can pay for a membership at any level and either designate who receives the membership or ask Impact 100’s administrator and/or Board members to recommend someone to receive the membership. Recipients of a gifted membership receive all of the privileges of membership, including directly participating in our grantmaking process.

Does Impact 100 offer scholarships?

Impact 100 has a partial scholarship for women under age 40 called a Young Philanthropist scholarship. We do not have any other formal scholarship programs, but occasionally generous members will pay for someone to become a member. (See above regarding giving a membership as a gift.) Those who want to learn more can make inquiries at administration@impact100.org.

Can I make an in-kind donation of goods or services to cover my membership contribution?

While in-kind donations of goods or services help us immensely with operational costs behind the scenes, your membership must be a monetary gift — because it goes straight into funding transformational grants that uplift lives across our community.

Can I automatically renew my membership each year?

Yes, members paying via credit card or eCheck can log in to the Impact 100 Member Portal and select “Billing Info > Enter Autopay” info in your member profile. Your annual payment will be processed each year on Dec. 1. Members paying monthly are automatically renewed.

Can I use a company matching gift?

Yes, you can direct a Company Matching Gift to Impact 100! Many companies offer matching gifts after a member has paid their membership dues. In these cases, members should join or renew their membership at  the level of their personal contribution (all membership levels receive one vote). When company matching gift payments arrive, they will be used as an operations donation for Impact 100. In a few cases, a company will remit a single payment for the full membership dues before the membership deadline. In this case, a matching gift can be used to pay the member’s dues invoice.
