An Impact 100 board member will chair each focus area. That board member and a committee of Impact 100 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. 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. As we grow, we will be able to give more than one $100,000 grant per year.
The idea behind these five focus areas is to allow significant grant making to any worthy non-profit in the Greater Cincinnati area. We accept applications from non-profit organizations headquartered in any of the following counties:
- Ohio - Adams, Brown, Butler, Clermont, Hamilton, Warren
- Kentucky - Boone, Campbell, Kenton
- Indiana - Dearborn
