Impact100OC

Impact100OC A Community of Women Transforming Lives Through Collective Giving The model is simple, but the impact is massive.

Impact100 OC is one of more than sixty chapters worldwide and joins its sister chapters in embracing the local collective giving model. Founded in 2021, Impact100 OC brings together a diverse group of women that annually fund transformational grants to local nonprofits in Orange County. At least 100 women each give a $1,000 tax deductible donation, and together they collectively award grants in in

crements of at least $100,000 to local nonprofits in five focus areas: Arts & Culture, Education, Environment & Recreation, Family and Health & Wellness. Each member’s annual donation strengthens the power of giving and funds the innovative projects that make a high impact and sustainable difference in our community.

“Change does not begin with the world as it is, but the world as it could be.”

And for Impact100 Orange County, that change happens when women come together with curiosity, purpose, and a shared commitment to our community.

As we get ready to form our grant committees, members will soon begin the meaningful work of learning more about this year’s nonprofit applicants — their missions, their impact, their challenges, and the possibilities they see for Orange County.

This is where the heart of our grant process begins: listening, learning, asking thoughtful questions, and working together to discover where our collective giving can make the greatest difference.

We can’t wait to begin. ✨

Five years ago, Impact100 Orange County was just a vision. A simple idea that if enough women came together, each giving what they could, we could create extraordinary change right here in our own community.

Today, that vision is very real.

As we round out our 5th grant cycle, we’re incredibly proud to announce that we’ll be awarding $118,000 in grants this year. What began with our very first $38,000 grant has grown year after year, thanks to the generosity, passion, and belief of our members.

Together, we’ve now invested more than $285,000 back into Orange County nonprofits that are changing lives every single day and that total will be at $403,000 after this next grant cycle is complete.

None of this happens because of one person. It happens because women choose to show up, invite a friend, volunteer their time, serve on committees, sponsor events, host gatherings, and believe that collective giving can accomplish far more than any of us could alone.

To every member, nonprofit partner, sponsor, volunteer, and supporter who has been part of this journey… thank you. You are the reason this story continues to grow.

Here’s to five incredible years, and to the lives we’ll continue to impact together. The best is still ahead. 💙
