Excited to Share Our Top 20 Grant Finalists!

As the holidays approach, we're delighted to report out the terrific progress our Grants Committees have made since beginning their work in September. Our five focus area grant teams have spoken with Subject Matter Experts and researched the local critical needs and emerging issues in each area. They've completed their review of 112 Letters of Interest (LOI) and have selected the four finalists in each of the five categories.

Our 20 finalists are busy completing their Request for Proposal (RFP) and our Grant Committees are scheduled to conduct site visits beginning mid-January 2019. In early March our full Grant Team Committee will meet and select the ten finalists (two per focus area) for our full membership vote in early April.

 Here are this year's top 20!
The Nominating Committee needs your help!

We are seeking experienced, talented, and passionate members of our organization for leadership roles on our Board of Directors and committees. 

Please take a few moments to recommend a WIF member for a leadership position, or raise your own hand.

  • We are very sad to say goodbye to Christy Bostic, who has served on our Board as Chair of Strategic Planning since 2017. Christy is moving with her family to Mississippi, and taking on a new role as Executive Director of Hope Floats Foundation, a nonprofit that "saves the lives of children around the globe by giving them the life-saving skill of swimming." Christy has been a board member of Hope Floats for a number of years and while we are excited for her and her family, she will be missed by her Women's Impact Fund family. Learn more about Christy's WIF experience...
  • Markita Payne will be serving as the Chair of the Strategic Planning Committee for the remainder of the 2018-19 year. We are looking forward to Markita's insight and leadership on the Board.
