About Impact 100 Indian River

Mission We are women who collectively impact the lives of individuals and our community through transformational giving. In our first 14 years Impact 100 of Indian River County awarded $5.5 million in grants to 51 local area nonprofits. Each year the number of annual grants awarded depends upon the number of members who contribute. Every dollar of our grant fund donation is invested back into Indian River County. Each $100,000 grant helps transform our community in significant and sustainable ways. The impact of this effort reaches far beyond a financial award. The application process is a growth exercise for all competing organizations, It ignites them to think outside of the box as to how to take their organization to the next level of service and impact. The Impact 100 forum provides an opportunity for community leaders to learn more about each other’s missions and find collaborative synergy to improve the quality of life for so many in our county. Plus, an Impact 100 “gold seal” grant opens doors for new potential funding sources, increasing the impact of the organization in our community. As important is the impact of connecting with the hundreds of accomplished, smart, and experienced women in Impact 100. The opportunity to access and learn from this generous group of philanthropic women who otherwise might not know about the needs of their organization is invaluable. These benefits for the community are as powerful as the final grant awards. Local non-profits apply for these grants in the following focus areas: arts and culture, children and families, education, environment, and health and wellness. After a thorough member-led review process, grants are awarded through member voting – we call this “team philanthropy.”
