IMPACT100

What is IMPACT100?

The concept of IMPACT100 is simple: 100 people donate a minimum of $100 each and become members of the “giving circle,” creating a pool of funding that is granted out to support our communities. This collective giving program is designed to inspire new local philanthropists and provide a platform to become educated about nonprofit organizations addressing needs in the Yampa Valley. It is also a way of having a big impact with meaningful funding to nonprofits by pooling the donations of many together. In 2023, IMPACT100 granted out $14,000 to the three winning organizations. Join us so we can learn together and give together again this year!

During the three social and educational events of the season, enjoy complimentary food and drinks while you hear from nonprofits and meet others interested in charitable giving. Join at any time; you do not need to wait for the next season to start. A schedule of Season 18

100% of each member’s tax-deductible donation goes directly to support the local community thanks to our event sponsors, who cover all expenses for food, drinks and venues. We encourage you to bring a friend and introduce them to the power of charitable giving.
