I am the founder of Impact 100. My experience with is non-profit has been life changing. I am not in a position to make large grants on my own, by pooling my resources with others, I am a part of a significant grant - the kind of grant that changes lives. THe "impact" of these grants has been tremendous to the non-profits...but even greater in my own life. Though this work, I have had the privelige of getting to know so many non-profits in the community. I've learned about new solutions to long term issues and much needed assistance to those in great need. I no longer live in Cincinnati, but will always contribute.
The Great!
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
The grants are transformational - for the recipients and for the donors. I've been honored to see the commitment to bring relief to those in need. I've been amazed at the generousity in the community. It's been incredible to see the ripple effects of this organization. What started in Cincinnati is now in many US cities. By the end of this year, more than $2 Million will have gone to Cincinnati non-profits and more than $13 million will have been granted through all of the Impact organizations.
Ways to make it better...
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
Find a way to spread the word to bring in more women accross the 10 county area we serve.
