The idea is simple: 100 women donate $1,000 each to form a $100,000 high-IMPACT grant that allows a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization in Okaloosa and Walton counties to accomplish extraordinary things. Membership is open to all women over 18 (women who live outside of Okaloosa and Walton Counties may join). The more members we have, the more grants we can fund. Most importantly, 100% of each member’s contribution is awarded to nonprofit organizations, with none of that contribution going to administrative costs.
Grant applications are accepted for projects in five focus areas:
- Arts and Culture
- Education
- Environment, Recreation & Preservation
- Family
- Health and Wellness
Focus area committees evaluate grant applications and our membership votes to determine which nonprofit projects will receive funding.
