Impact100 SRQ is proud to announce $876,000 in grant funds for its 2024 Giving Year! All nonprofits in Sarasota and Manatee Counties are invited to submit their Application Eligibility Form for an opportunity to apply for one of eight $109,500 grants that will truly transform our community in the focus areas of Arts, Culture & History; Education; Environment, Recreation & Animal Welfare; Family; and Health & Wellness.

The Annual Big Reveal event at the Nathan Benderson Park Finish Tower on April 16, 2024, was a celebration of empowerment and generosity. President Pam Kandziora, leading the organization's 876 members, highlighted the impact of these grants, and stated, "Our members are dedicated to supporting nonprofits in our community that are making a real difference. These grants not only provide financial support for their initiatives but also recognition for the incredible work being done by nonprofits in our area."

Thanks to the collective efforts of its passionate members, Impact100 SRQ will have funded 30 grants totaling $3,276,000 by the end of the 2024 Giving Year. As our chapter grows, so does our impact, it is a testament to the power of women coming together for a common cause.

The 2024 Giving Year is in full swing, and Impact100 SRQ is excited to see the incredible initiatives that will come to life with these grants. The dedication and innovation of local nonprofits drive the positive changes we see in our community every day. Impact100 SRQ is proud to support these organizations as they continue to make a lasting impact.

Impact100 SRQ is one of more than sixty chapters worldwide and joins its sister chapters in embracing the local collective giving model. Established in 2018, Impact100 SRQ brings together a diverse group of women who annually fund transformational grants to local nonprofits in both Sarasota and Manatee Counties.  The model is simple. At least 100 women each give a $1,000 tax-deductible donation, and together they collectively award grants in increments of at least $100,000 to local nonprofits in five focus areas: Arts, Culture & History; Education; Environment, Recreation & Animal Welfare; Family and Health & Wellness.  Each member’s annual donation strengthens the power of giving and funds the innovative projects that make a high “Impact” and sustainable difference in our community.

"Impact has grown into an organization that supports both the community and the women who are a part of Impact. I look forward to continuing to learn about organizations in our community and getting to know more Impact members." -Lisa Barzel
