Impact100 Sonoma is a collective grant-making organization started in August 2009 that brings together at least 100 women with a common purpose: to award an Impact Grant of $100,000 every year to a Sonoma Valley nonprofit organization that would otherwise not have access to that level of funding. To date, its members have granted a total of $2,062,000.
In 2019, in celebration of its tenth Anniversary, Impact100 Sonoma will offer a one-time $50,000 10th Anniversary Grant, in addition to the annual Impact Grant and Community Grants of up to $20,000.
The mission of Impact100 Sonoma is to empower women of Sonoma Valley to invest in a more sustainable nonprofit community through collective giving and responsible stewardship. Impact100 Sonoma invites all women who want to make a difference in Sonoma Valley to become a member. Information about joining can be found at www.impact100sonoma.org or by calling 707-939-5007.
