President's Message- Exciting Start to 2022
As President of Impact 100 for 2022, I am delighted to welcome you to another year of “empowering women to dramatically improve lives by collectively funding significant, transformational grants and awards that make a lasting impact in our community.” Over the past 20 years, Impact 100 has awarded over $6 million dollars in funds to our nonprofit community to change lives and make a lasting impact. 

The first month of 2022 has already been an incredibly busy one for Impact 100.

Volunteer – Get Involved in 2022
It's not too late!  You can still join a Grant Review Team; or other volunteer opportunities for 2022 - if you'd like to! Volunteering is a great way to experience Impact 100 at its fullest, learn about nonprofits, and meet other Impact 100 members.  

The Grant Review Teams began meetings to review Letters of Intent the week of January 24th. Sign up now; and in most cases, you can join in by their second meeting in this initial 3-week phase! Please note: all Grant Review Teams have now adapted to be virtual for the near term, recognizing our current environment. Or sign up to join in for Phase II with these teams when they address the Common Grant Applications and Site Visits beginning mid-March.
 
  • Ruby Team - Mondays 11:00 am - Virtual
  • Emerald Team - Tuesdays 6:30 pm - Virtual
  • Sapphire Team - Wednesdays 10:30 am - Now Virtual!
  • Pearl Team - Wednesdays 6:30 pm - Now Virtual!
  • Diamond Team - Thursdays 9:00 am - Now Virtual!
  • Community Investment Review Committee (CIRC), Thursdays 6:30 pm - Virtual (beginning April 7, 2022)
 
Over 100 of our members have raised their hands to be a part of the Letter of Intent process! Wow!  Don't hesitate to still sign up to join.  The Diamond, Pearl and Sapphire Teams are a bit lower in numbers, should you have capacity to join on Wednesdays and Thursdays. 

Have other skills and interest you'd like to share and use in Impact 100? There are other volunteer opportunities which may better meet your schedule and match your interests.
