Since its inception in 2001, Impact 100 has given over $1,200,000 to Greater Cincinnati non-profits.  Our 2008 membership totals 222 members, which means we will be able to give out two grants of $111,000 each to two very worthy Non-Profit organizations! 

The deadline has passed for joining us in 2008, but we would love to have you as a member for 2009.  If you sign up now you can pay your membership in full, or in installments over the course of the year, whichever works best for you.  As a 2009 member you can participate fully in the Impact 2008 process, with the exception of the final vote for the 2008 recipients.  Just complete the membership form by clicking on the link in the upper right corner of this page.

We are grateful to all of our 2008 members for their support of Impact 100.  Please tell your friends about us!  If there is someone you believe we should contact, please feel free to let us know by clicking on the feedback form on this site and give us their email and we will gladly send them some information on Impact. 

Members of Impact 100 may choose to pay their membership contribution and do nothing more until the Annual Dinner in September. Or, they may choose to be involved in one of our five focus areas, or various other committees.  Feel free to let us know if you would like to be involved by sending us feedback on the "contact us" link.

A board member will chair each focus area. That board member and a committee of members will request and 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). After research, site visits and other necessary due diligence, each committee will narrow their choice to one deserving agency.

Each focus area's most deserving agency will be represented at our Annual Meeting. At this event, members will listen to presentations from each Committee and their chosen non-profit and vote for their choice to receive the $100,000 grant(s).

Each member will have the opportunity to vote, regardless of her involvement on a specific committee. The agency receiving the highest number of votes will receive the grant for that year. The money will be presented prior to year-end in a celebration in which all members will be welcome. Since 2004, our membership has topped 200, allowing us to give out two grants of at least $100,000 each.
