Impact 100 Chicago, is a women's collective giving organization. The premise is simple, a minimum of 100 women join as members, each making a tax-deductible donation of $1000. Together we pool our funds to award high-impact, $100,000 grants to nonprofit organizations in Chicago. The more members, the more grants. 100% of membership dollars go to fund the awarded grant. We accept grant applications from established not-for profits in five focus areas: Family, Education, Health, Sustainability, and Culture. We also provide ways for our members to gain first hand knowledge of the nonprofits in our community.
