The Impact of Impact100
Impact100 Philadelphia engages women in collectively funding high-impact grants. We award large collective grants that seek to address unmet needs in the Philadelphia region and raise the profile of smaller nonprofit organizations. Through this work, our goal is to make our community more just, equitable, and healthy for everyone.
Through Impact100's collective grant-making, each member is able to magnify the positive effects of her individual donation. Together, Impact members learn about the most pressing needs in our region and provide significant support to nonprofit agencies that are working hard to address those needs.
We strive to engage respectfully with our grantees and we are well aware that the nonprofits we seek to support know far more about their needs and constituencies than we do. We seek honest dialogue and open communications, striving to understand the pressures and challenges that our applicants and grantees face. Some grantees have said that Impact100's grants process is a motivator — an inspiration to think big and plan strategically for the future. We hope that is the case and we are always open to feedback from the nonprofit community for how we can do better.
In June 2022 our 454 members awarded $435,000 in collective grants: $400,000 through the Core Mission grant program and $35,000 through our pilot Community Awards. We congratulate not only the finalists, but all organizations invited to submit a full proposal (70) and the 28 that reached the highest level of review.
