Impact 100 Cleveland enables our members to become more thoughtful philanthropists by collaborating to make a significant and lasting impact. We inspire and empower by connecting to nonprofits in our communities – and to each other.
Become a Member!
By aggregating individual donations of $1,000 each, we annually make significant, high-impact grants of $100,000 to one (or more) Greater Cleveland nonprofit.
Members play a vital role in a very rigorous process: reviewing the grant proposals, conducting site visits with short-listed nonprofits, selecting finalists and voting on the grant recipients. We welcome women from all walks of life, backgrounds, and experiences to join. Our strength lies in the diversity of our members. Together, we can make a significant impact by leveraging our collective diversity.
Get to know us. Have a look around our website and social media – we’re on Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn.
Impact100 Cleveland is a 501(c)(3) and all donations are tax deductible to the extent allowed by law.
We welcome new members to join Impact100 Cleveland at any time.
Members who join now will be able to:
Attend open events and connect with our growing community

Be part of building something meaningful in Cleveland
As we are currently in our 2026 grant cycle, new members who join at this stage will not participate in voting until the 2027 grant cycle.
For those who prefer to wait and participate fully in voting, we encourage them to complete our 2027 Membership Interest Form so we can stay connected and invite them to upcoming events.
Join us as a 2027 member to fund our 2027 grants pool!
Ready to become a member? We realize $1,000 is a stop and think gift. For many of our members, $1,000 represents sacrifice and intentional budgeting to make a charitable gift of this size. That is by design. The goal is for each member to feel fully invested in and connected to their giving, and the transformational grants that result from it.
