Our Inaugural Grant Cycle Is Moving Forward
After receiving 93 applications from nonprofit organizations across Greater Cleveland, our volunteer reviewers have completed their initial evaluations and top proposals are now advancing through financial and operational review.
This summer, organizations will move through additional review stages, including site visits, as we work toward selecting the finalists for our inaugural $70,000 grant.

Impact100 Cleveland brings women together to make a transformational difference through collective giving.
Each member contributes $1,000, and together we fund large-scale grants that support nonprofit organizations serving Greater Cleveland.
Every member has a voice, a vote, and the opportunity to be part of a powerful community creating change close to home.
In our founding year, 70 women came together to fund a $70,000 grant. Now we're building toward even greater impact.
The Work Behind Collective Giving
Our inaugural grant process is designed to identify nonprofit organizations with bold ideas and the capacity to create lasting impact.
This year, Impact100 Cleveland received 93 applications across our five focus areas.
Applications have now advanced to the next stage of review, where volunteer leaders and members continue evaluating proposals through financial review and due diligence before site visits begin later this summer.
Every step of the process is led by volunteers committed to thoughtfully stewarding our members' collective investment in Greater Cleveland.
