Impact 100, a women’s collective giving organization which funds grants of $100,000 to area nonprofits, has opened its 2017 grant cycle.
Letters of Intent are now being accepted on the website until December 9.
“Every year, we are inspired by the vision and passion our nonprofit partners bring to helping community residents in need. Our members look forward to learning about and funding these compelling programs and projects,” said Clare Zlatic Blankemeyer, Vice President and Nonprofit Coordinator of Impact 100.
To help prospective applicants learn more about the process, informational workshops are being held and two new sessions have been added to meet the overwhelming demand.
Nonprofit leaders and members of their development staff are encouraged to attend to learn about the updated Letter of Intent/grant application process, meet board members, and hear comments from previous applicants and Impact 100 grant recipients. These workshops will be held on December 2nd at Magnified Giving on Reading Road. To learn more or to register, visit Impact100.org.
About Impact 100
Impact 100 was founded in 2001 in Cincinnati by a group of women who desired to make a greater impact with their philanthropic donations. By pooling their funds, women can change lives by collectively funding grants of $100,000 which make a lasting impact in our community. These significant grants are awarded to regional nonprofit organizations in five categories: Health & Wellness, Education, Culture, Family and Environment, Recreation & Preservation. Since its inception 15 years ago, Impact 100 has donated over $3.6 Million to transform lives in the 10-county Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky region. Collectively, the 33 funded programs have assisted more than 175,000 local residents in need. This model has resonated with thousands of women and there are now 34 Impact 100 chapters across the United States and Australia which have awarded a total of $40 Million dollars in grants. New members are welcome.
