We are pleased to accept applications that are programmatic, endowment, capital, start-up, or research-oriented. We regret that we cannot accept any of the following types of applications: operating, partisan, individual churches, indigent care subsidy, travel, loans, or for individuals.
We accept grant applications from Greater Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky non-profit organizations that serve one or more of our five grant review areas: Culture, Health & Wellness, Family, Environment,Preservation & Recreation and Education.
Every applying agency must have 501(c)(3) status with the IRS.
An Impact 100 board member will chair each grant review committee. That board member and a committee of Impact 100 members will evaluate proposals from non-profit agencies in the Greater Cincinnati area. The agencies will be informed that they are applying for a $100,000 grant (or more, based on the number of members) in January. After research, site visits and other necessary due diligence, each committee will narrow its choice to one deserving agency.
Each grant review committee's most deserving agency will be represented at our Annual Awards Celebration. At this event, members will listen to presentations from each committee and its chosen non-profit, and vote for their choice to receive the $100,000 grant. Each member will have the opportunity to vote, regardless of her involvement on a specific committee. The agencies receiving the highest number of votes will receive the grants for that year.
We accept applications from non-profit organizations who operate in any of the following counties:
- Ohio - Adams, Brown, Butler, Clermont, Hamilton, Warren
- Kentucky - Boone, Campbell, Kenton
- Indiana - Dearborn
