Overview
The concept behind Impact100 is for at least one hundred women to donate $1,000 a year and pool their contributions, in order to make one or more very large donations to nonprofit organizations in the Philadelphia region that they collectively choose. We award one or more grants of $100,000 each year. This model comes from the original Impact100 group in Cincinnati, which has been in existence since 2001, and to date has donated well over $1 million to its local community. Other Impact100 groups have sprung up successfully in different cities around the country, and Philadelphia has joined this movement.

Every dollar donated by our members goes directly toward the grant. Membership contributions are due by December 1 of each year. Administrative expenses are covered by interest earned on the collective fund, by “Friends”, and by corporate donations.
