How Impact 100 Transforms Greater Cincinnati

Since 2001, Impact 100 Cincinnati has served as a powerful catalyst for community change. Through our unique women’s collective giving model, 100% of core membership dollars go directly to funding transformational grant awards. Every member is a philanthropist with an equal voice in selecting the game-changing projects that shape our region’s future.

To date, our members have awarded over $8.1 million through 78 transformational grants to local nonprofits—magnifying individual giving to deliver lasting, community-wide solutions across Greater Cincinnati, Northern Kentucky, and Southeast Indiana.
