President's Message

"There are those whose lives affect all others around them. Quietly touching one heart, who in turn, touches another. Reaching out to ends further than they would ever know."
William Bradfield
We thank those members who have volunteered their time for Impact 100 this past year. Whether you served on a CIRC, event planning, Focus Area, membership, marketing, or recruiting committee you have affected more than you realize and Impact 100 truly values your efforts! You demonstrate The Power of Women IMPACTing our Community.
We applaud the achievements of our most recent grant recipients as we prepare to award grants to FOUR new recipients. Last year's grant recipients - Greater Cincinnati Construction Foundation, Women's Crisis Center, St. Francis Seraph & Center for Respite Care, and Cincinnati Therapeutic Riding and Horsemanship - have all begun to put their grant money into action, and are already making an IMPACT in the community.
We also commend the seven wonderful Finalists who have also achieved success because of their passion to reach out and changes lives. I encourage you to learn more about the Finalists and the transformational programs/projects they are proposing. The Executive Summaries of the seven Finalists are posted in the 'Members Only' section of our website.

 Ladies, Can you believe it?! Literacy Network of Greater Cincinnati, 2014 Grant Recipient, has submitted their final report to Impact 100.
LNGC is a fantastic example of our how our infusion of collectively pooled funds can meaningfully expand nonprofit programs that already exist (a common misconception is that we only fund new "things").
As relates to their initial goals, some notes:
- The purpose of the $109,000 grant in 2014 from Impact 100 Greater Cincinnati to Literacy Network of Greater Cincinnati was to reach new under-served audiences of children and adults with literacy programs via the opening of new hubs in Avondale and Price Hill.
- LNGC completed marketing campaigns, offered child care as a resource to adult students, and offered 5 sessions of adult and children literacy programming over a two-year period (which is an additional class than the 4 classes initially proposed to Impact 100.)
- At the end of the Impact 100 Adult Programming 2 classes of 12 students averaged a 1.5 grade level increase in work-attack skills!
- All three Impact 100 funded children's program classes engaged 18 students. Students who were in the class for two years averaged a 2.4 grade level increase in word attack skills! This exceeds the goal of 2-grade levels over two years. These are FANTASTIC gains for students struggling with reading. The classes helped many of these students catch up to grade level reading.
This is an amazingly deep program. Congratulations LNGC on this work!
If you are interested in reading the entire report, it can be found

Who am I?
Hmm, interesting question. Often I would answer in a way that associates with something external or a role I have played in life. Who am I? I am a child of God. I attempt to love everyday and when I fail I will ask for forgiveness and try again. Authenticity is important to me.
What made me want to join Impact 100?
A couple of friends introduced me to Impact 100 and invited me to a couple of their events. It was the Annual Awards Celebration in 2012 that made it clear to me of Impact 100's mission. It clicked! What a brilliant idea! I could see the impact that Impact 100 was having and how it was making a difference in the community, changing many lives for the better. It was true, one could do more collectively than individually. From then on, it was very easy to be passionate about Impact 100's mission.
What keeps me a member of Impact?
It is the only organization that I am aware of that 100% of one's donation goes toward funding grant's awarded to other, well vetted, local non profits. I can be involved as much as I want or I can just write a check and vote every September! It's that simple.
I have witnessed Impact 100 as transformational, authentic and I am drawn to the mission.
