Impact100 empowers women to dramatically improve lives by collectively funding significant grants that make a lasting impact in their communities. The concept is simple: At least 100 women each donate $1,000, with 100 percent of the donations given directly to charity. Impact Grants of $100,000 are awarded to the nonprofit organizations and programs where they will have the most transformative impact.
Major sponsors for Impact100 Martin’s second annual Grant Awards Celebration are: Wong Family Foundation, HBKS Wealth Advisors/HBK CPAs and Consultants, PNC Bank and The Arati Hammond Real Estate Team.
