Review for Impact Austin, Austin, TX, USA
With a very clear vision and mission, Impact Austin brings together some of the brightest, most thoughtful women in Austin. An annual donation of $1000 may seem like a lot of money, but the amount required is really right on target- $1000 is enough money to make a huge difference within a collective giving circle ($500,000 to the community each year), but not so much that the organization becomes exclusive (it's the equivalent of saving $44 a paycheck- so really, you can do it). This has helped to create a diverse, egalitarian, inclusive community of women who really care about the success of our community partners. As a member, I feel tied to something much bigger than myself(I know I only put in $1000, but i FEEL like I am personally giving away five $100,000 grants each year), and I rest easy knowing that the grant evaluation process is world class and transparent

What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...
The education- of the needs in the community and of feeling personally tied to the non-profits we research- those who are ultimately awarded a grant and those who go through the entire application process.
The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...
Intelligent, well-spoken, respectful, professional and thoughtful.
If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...
It would be great to hire a salaried Executive Director and also to have a facility where all of our annual meetings, focus area committees, discovery days, and Girls Giving Grants meetings could consistently convene.
