Celebrating resiliency with Impact 100
As we look back to Spring 2020, many things in our world, community, and family look different as we celebrate Spring 2021. For Impact 100, the same is true. We are grateful as we reflect and embrace what we learned.
Member Spotlight - Reagan Smith
Impact 100 loves the energy and enthusiasm of our newer, younger members – they are a bright spot that will keep the organization strong and successful well into the future! Reagan Smith, a 2021 Board member and Charlotte R. Schmidlapp Young Philanthropist Scholarship recipient, is the perfect example of that. Learn more about Reagan here. 
Next Step Award Review
Committee Volunteers Needed
We are managing the review & assessment of the Next Step Awards differently from the process used for our traditional $100,000 grants. We plan to form a Next Steps Award Review Committee that will review the applications and select the awardees. We need members to join this Review Committee!
Unplug with Impact
Let's get together safely this summer!
Unplug and experience the beauty of Greater Cincinnati. Join Impact 100 for a nature or art walk and don't forget to bring a friend! You'll learn about a local nonprofit and have fun too.
