Alone We Can Do So Little. Together We Can Do So Much.
Impact 100 Indian River is a collective giving organization that empowers women to make a lasting difference in our community. Founded in 2008, we bring together women who each contribute $1,100 annually—pooling resources to award multiple $100,000 grants every year to local nonprofits serving Indian River County.
Our grants fund bold, innovative, and sustainable projects that transform lives across Arts & Culture, Children & Families, Education, Environment, and Health & Wellness.
Beyond funding, Impact 100 is a community of purpose—where women connect, learn, and lead together. Every new member strengthens our collective voice and expands what we can achieve.
Together, we are transforming Indian River County—one $100,000 grant at a time.
The most important aspects of the Impact 100 model
By investing $1,000 to our grant fund pool, we have a more profound impact on our community.
Every Impact 100 IR member has a vote in deciding which local nonprofits receive a $100,000 grant.
The only membership requirement is to donate and vote. You can choose to be more involved by volunteering and supporting us in other ways. Click to learn how to volunteer and support us in other ways.
Membership in Impact 100 IR is $1,100, received annually by the close of membership on February 28. The number of members in good standing determines the total funding for that grant-making cycle. Of the $1,000 portion of your contribution, 100% is combined with those of other members to create $100,000 grants. The additional $100 helps offset our administrative expenses, such as contractors, insurance, accounting, web site hosting, printing, and other expenses. All fees, including those paid to cover credit card fees, are tax deductible. Our tax ID number is 83-1598994
