Who we are
We are a diverse group of women in the Puget Sound Region that have come together to support our community through trust-based philanthropy.
What we do
We work together to bring unrestricted grants to small, community-based nonprofits. We learn. We connect. We make an Impact.
Our Impact
Together, we have granted over $700,000 to local nonprofit organizations, and supported them beyond the check by building long term relationships.
Why Join
With each member comes a new connection, a different point of view, a stronger voice, and a greater IMPACT. Join the movement, and help us re-define Philanthropy!
The Impact 100 model is simple.
This is how it works:

At least 100 women donate $1,000 each. That’s $100,000+ dollars!

Community-based nonprofits apply for a $100,000 unrestricted grant.

The Grant Review Team reviews applications and selects finalists.
Annual Meeting
All members gather to learn about the finalists.
