Our Vision

When we started IMPACT 100 NYC, we envisioned fostering a culture of communal giving, volunteering and learning by cultivating a community of women who want their donations to do more and mean more.

And now, with our founding and new members, we have evolved from that amorphous dream to a concrete reality:

• Grown from 147 to 214 members.
• Doubled our Innovation Grants from one in our inaugural year, to two in our second.
• Expanded from one core initiative to three by launching The Founders Fellowship and nextgen to educate and empower tomorrow’s philanthropic change-makers.

Going into the third year of the COVID pandemic, the needs of nonprofits and their beneficiaries continue unabated. But, so does our commitment to taking action by funding nonprofits that provide critical services to the most vulnerable and underserved. For 2022 and beyond, our sights remain set on building a dynamic community of caring women with diverse lived experiences and collaborating with our nonprofit partners to exponentially multiply our collective impact year after year after year. 

Today, thanks to all of you and your belief in the ability of women-powered collective grant-making, we have exceeded our initial goals – and our wildest dreams. 

With gratitude,

Emily and Mindy
