Impact100 Greater Milwaukee

Impact100 Greater Milwaukee is an organization of women who are leveraging our collective philanthropy, making informed decisions and directing our giving…making an IMPACT! We are a dedicated and collaborative group of women who offer a new source of funding for local nonprofit organizations.

It is a simple idea: one woman, one vote. Women make a fully deductible donation of $1,100 annually, $1,000 of which goes directly to our grants, and the remaining $100 supports Impact100 Greater Milwaukee’s operational expenses.

Grant applications are accepted in January in each of our five focus areas: Arts & Culture; Education; Environment;Family; Health & Wellness.

Following a rigorous evaluation process by our members, five finalists are chosen, one from each focus area. At the Annual Awards Celebration, our members listen to presentations from the finalists, then vote to award a $100,000 grant.
