About Impact100 NWF Membership
Impact100 Northwest Florida, Inc. is a group of women that seeks to transform the lives of people in Okaloosa and Walton Counties by funding transformational, high-impact projects through grants to nonprofit 501(c)(3) organizations in those counties. The exact amount of funds available for award in any given year depends upon the number of women who join the organization. The membership enrollment window is open annually from January 1 to April 30.
Annual membership in Impact100 NWF is $1,000 - one woman + $1,000 = one vote. 100 women donating $1,000 each make it possible to award $100,000 to a worthy project of a local nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization. Thus the name Impact100. Members may be as active as they choose: serving on one of our standing committees or on one of our focus area committees during the grant review period (September/early October timeframe), helping to promote the organization or just coming to vote at the annual meeting.
Evergreen Membership: Just as there are evergreens in the plant kingdom, there are Impact100 NWF members who remain interested and involved year after year. Evergreen members allow us to plan by knowing the number of recurring members we can count on each year. We recognize the members who pledge that they will help Impact100 NWF stay vibrant and green by renewing their membership year after year. Evergreen members are designated in the member directory and have a special Evergreen Member name tag. To become an Evergreen Member, you only need to make this pledge once. If your circumstances changes in the future, simply let us know. We do ask that our Evergreen Members renew by March 31st. Members who are interested in being an Evergreen member, can email our Membership Committee.
NextGen Membership: The Impact100 NWF NextGen Program seeks to give the next generation of women, particularly those who may not have the financial resources, an opportunity to become Impact100 NWF members and engage with the community while learning the lessons of philanthropy. The program aims to empower these women to be ambassadors for a generation that is dedicated to giving and serving in Okaloosa and Walton counties.
