2023 grantmaking changes

We are pleased to share a few important changes in our grantmaking philosophy and procedures with you. At their core, the changes reflect our effort to reach more nonprofits and reduce their administrative burden. The changes both simplify our processes and make our intentions to serve the needs of the nonprofit community clearer. They include:

• lower nonprofit operating budget parameters ($300,000 to $3,000,000)
• a single application process
• a site visit honorarium

Grant Applicant Information Session

The annual Grant Applicant Information Session (GAIS) will be held on November 7, 2022. All nonprofits that are considering applying for an Impact100 Philadelphia grant are encouraged to attend!

Annual Kickoff recap

Impact100 Philadelphia welcomed four thought leaders to share their wisdom in a vibrant panel discussion, Engaging Community Voices in Your Work: An Impact Multiplier. The evening was hosted by our nonprofit partner Taller Puertorriqueño, whose mission is to use art to promote development within its community and the Latino Diaspora and build bridges to the Greater Philadelphia region. 

As we grow, we remain steadfast in our commitment to the nonprofits we serve. We continue to connect with our nonprofit partners by renting their spaces for events and sharing their stories and accomplishments with our members, supporters, and networks. Two Taller Puertorriqueño neighbors, Boricua Restaurant and Pound Cake Heaven, catered dinner and desserts for the evening's one hundred attendees. 

The panelists spoke from the heart about their professional and lived experience seeking to engage community voices in establishing funding priorities. They spoke about the importance of trust-based philanthropy and encouraged funders to ease application burdens and continue to hold each other accountable to positive changes in giving.
