Our Mission:
Engage.
We bring women together to engage in impactful, large-scale giving to support nonprofits serving Oakland County.
Our Vision
We envision a community of engaged women giving generously and intentionally in our five areas of focus to nonprofits impacting lives in Oakland County.
Our Core Values
Our Model
The Impact100 model brings women together to award grants to the communities it serves across five broad focus areas: Arts & Culture, Education, Environment, Family and Health & Wellness. Founded by Wendy Steele, the model has been replicated in communities across the U.S. & Australia with more than 70 organizations. To date, Impact chapters have given away more than $45 million.
Our Impact
We’ve awarded $877,00 in grant funding to nonprofits serving Oakland County since our inception in 2016. We know that nonprofits need resources and support to make Oakland County the best it can be for everyone who lives here. Our grants give nonprofits the investment they need to make a big difference where we live and work.
