Impactship Program

Our goal is to be open to all women who are passionate about our cause. If our membership fee poses a financial burden, please consider applying for an Impactship to join our collective without a financial commitment.

What is an Impactship

An Impactship is a no-strings/no financial commitment Impact 100 Seattle membership. Impactship members enjoy full membership benefits and participate in as much or as little of our programming as they would like. They are invited to join committees, serve on the Grant Review Team, or get involved in the Leadership Team and, of course, they have a vote in our final grant allocation.

What is the Goal of This Program?

The goal of our Member Impactships is to strengthen our membership by broadening both our perspective and our reach to a diverse group of women in our community. Women who are interested in becoming a member, but are not able to donate the full $1,000, are eligible to apply for an Impactship.

What are the Exceptions for an Impactship Member?

As a 100% volunteer-run organization we rely on the energy and talents of a diverse group of committed women. We welcome all members to get involved in any capacity that best suits their time and interest.

Impactship recipients are not required to donate any money or volunteer any time. "Give what you can" financial donations or time and talent are appreciated from any member who would like to participate in an event or volunteer on a committee.

How Do I Apply?

To apply, please fill out this short application form. Please note that it is not possible to save the form and come back to it later. Once you click ‘Submit,’ your application will be submitted for review by our Member Impactship committee. The Impactship committee will review the application and decide which applicants best meet the organizational Impactship goals. Decisions on awards will be made by mid December and eligible candidates will be informed by end of December. If you have any questions, please contact our Impactship Chair.

We look forward to hearing from you!
