Impact 100 has been celebrating! The Focus Area Committees have completed their work of selecting the 2021 Grant Finalists, and our Community Investment Review Committee (CIRC) has completed its work of confirming the financial viability of the organizations and grant proposals.
 
As a result, on June 23rd we were delighted to announce our six 2021 Grant Finalists.
 
The Six Finalists are: 
Kennedy Heights Arts Centerproposing the Youth Jazz Cincinnati project  
RefugeeConnectproposing the Community Navigator program
Green Umbrellaproposing the Common Orchard Project  
Breakthrough Cincinnatiproposing the “Access for All: Breakthrough Cincinnati Advances Equity in Education” project 
The Public Library of Cincinnati and Hamilton County Foundationproposing the My Mobile Library Project 
Seven Hills Neighborhood Housesproposing the Trauma Recovery Center project  
 
Over 80 Letters of Intent and 31 Grant Applications were reviewed before narrowing down the list to these six initiatives.  Please join us in congratulating these Finalists!
 
We hope you can join us for the Annual Awards Celebration (AAC) on September 8th.  This event is the highlight of the Impact 100 year – an opportunity to learn from the Grant Finalists as they share the transformation they hope to bring to reality with Impact 100 funds.  Share a meal, learn about our community, meet other women, and cast YOUR vote for the 2021 Grant Recipients. 
 
It will be a fun night where we will award FOUR grants of $103,750 each . . . and celebrate Impact 100’s 20th Anniversary.
 
You can help us make a greater IMPACT by inviting your friends, family, and colleagues to attend the AAC.  This event not only showcases Impact 100, but the incredible hard work and community change that our Grant Finalists are working to make in our tri-state region.
