Impact 100 Cincinnati

Meet Ellie Berghausen — one of the incredible women who helped launch Impact 100 Cincinnati 25 years ago. 💙

Though she now calls Hilton Head Island home, Ellie’s belief in the power of women’s collective giving has never left Cincinnati. As she says, “I stayed because the concept worked…I learned how women can impact the world.”

Ellie, thank you for being part of our story from the very beginning. Your leadership, generosity, and heart have shaped 25 years of impact — and inspired countless women along the way.

What a wonderful gathering of Impact 100 Cincinnati members and guests! We were honored to hear from Russell Winters, CEO of Tender Mercies, who shared how an grant helped advance their mission of transforming the lives of homeless adults.

His inspiring story is a powerful reminder of what women can accomplish when we pool our resources and invest in our community together.

Our May Education Event, Philanthropy: Past, Present & Possibility, lit a spark — and it’s still burning.

In one room, we felt the power of women who lead with purpose, learn with curiosity, and give with heart. From the roots of collective giving to the bold ideas shaping tomorrow, our community continues to lead with clarity, compassion, and impact.

💙 This is what happens when women come together with clarity and conviction. We don’t just imagine change — we create it.
Watch the highlights and feel the momentum.

Philanthropy Past, Present, and Future Possibilities are the topics...
