Dear Impact 100 2019 Member,

Impact 100 is using a new online election system to determine the grant recipients at the Annual Awards Celebration (AAC) on September 12. You have the option to vote ONE time anytime between 8/24/2019 and the end of voting at the AAC. All 2019 members have the right to vote whether they attend the AAC or not. Please vote in this Impact 100 Grant Recipient Election.

Step 1 - Conflict of Interest

In order to vote you must declare if you have any conflict of interest.

All members of Impact 100 must ensure that no personal or professional self-interest interferes with their work on behalf of Impact 100. In other words, all members must make sure that they do not have a conflict of interest when they are participating in Impact 100 work or business. A potential conflict of interest can arise in situations when a member, or someone in a member’s immediate family, would personally gain, either financially or professionally, from an action taken by Impact 100. For example, if an Impact 100 member would receive a job or a business contract if a certain nonprofit receives an Impact 100 grant, then that member has a potential conflict of interest.

It is important for members to realize that simply serving on the board of a nonprofit which has applied for or may apply for a grant from Impact 100 does not create a conflict of interest. It is only in the situation in which a member would personally profit from the grant being given to the nonprofit that a conflict potentially arises.

If there is a real or potential conflict of interest, it is the member’s obligation to notify the Board in writing of such conflict.

You are voting to select the 2019 Impact 100 Grant Recipients. Please answer the Conflict of Interest question as it relates to our five finalists. The finalists are:
  • Joy Outdoor Education Center
  • NEST Community Learning Center
  • Activities Beyond the Classroom/Fourthwall
  • St. Vincent de Paul Community Pharmacy
  • Cincinnati Works, Inc

If you have a conflict of interest, please email treasurer@impact100.org with your name and conflict. By continuing to OpaVote, you are acknowledging that you do not have a conflict of interest with any of the above finalists.
