April 2018 Newsletter

This April we’re celebrating a Decade of Planting Seeds for the Future. We’re featuring past grantees like CASA Youth Advocates of Delaware County, Audubon PA, and ArtWell that are shaping the future through the work they do today.
On June 4, Impact100 Philadelphia will be Celebrating a Decade of Women Giving as One at our Annual Meeting and with our new Impact Engagement Fair. With the Engagement Fair, we have invited our past grantees to share their work with you. Don't miss this unique opportunity to network with influential nonprofits in the region, connect with our work, and find new ways to make a difference as we give and learn together.

SAVE THE DATE and please keep an eye out for the registration announcement in your inbox! The Impact100 Philadelphia Annual Meeting and Engagement Fair is open to our members and their guests who register to attend our Annual Meeting.
Who among us can stand alone? That’s a painful proposition for most adults, but for children, it is an unimaginably cruel prospect. Kids need someone in their corner, someone who can guide them, bolster them and stand up for them when they are unable to stand up for themselves. In Delaware and Chester counties, children are fortunate to have Impact100 Philadelphia 2016 grant recipient CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates) Youth Advocates to step into the breach when their families are not able to provide a stable environment.

Tax Codes Affect the Nonprofit Community
Like clockwork, April comes and a spate of stories about taxes flourish throughout the media. This year, the stories have a new twist because of revisions to the tax codes, which became law late last year. Many nonprofits are concerned that contributions will dry up, and donors are scrambling to understand the new regulations.

Membership outreach and engagement has continued through the winter months. Tamara Banko and Rachel Levin, Impact100 Philadelphia Membership Co-Chairs , were delighted to plant membership seeds for the future and host a recruitment event for new and prospective members at Kismet Cowork in Chestnut Hill in February. This event reflects our conviction that the benefits of Impact100 Philadelphia membership exist throughout the year: there is no deadline to join.

It happens every spring in Philadelphia. The Phillies are back, flowers bloom, potholes appear and the Impact100Philadelphia grants cycle moves into full swing. Central to the evaluation process is the work of our Financial Review Panel (FRP). This year, nineteen of our members with special professional skills provide financial analysis for our teams and focus area committees.
