Eager to Support Impact 100’s Nonprofit Finalists?
Were you touched by the stories of the 7 nonprofit finalists at our Annual Awards Celebration? Would you like to do more? There’s a way you can help NOW, with the Wish Lists provided by our 7 finalists.

Additionally, in the coming weeks and months, we hope to work with the 4 selected grant recipients; and “Test & Learn” with Impact 100 members potentially supporting a specific volunteer need or opportunity - at their facility, in the community, or in support of their mission. We’ll inform you as this is further organized.

In the meantime, follow the link below to view the seven Impact 100 2022 grant finalists’ Wish Lists. You’ll find requests for cleaning supplies, office supplies, gift cards, clothing, food, toys. In addition, most of the lists educate Impact 100 members on just how far any additional personal monetary donations you may wish to make go in furthering their targeted programming in our community.
