Impact 100 has been an important part of the Indianapolis community since 2006, along with our annual goal of delivering more than $100,000 to nonprofits in the Greater Indianapolis community. Through our grants we have proven that collective giving works, and that a group of inspired women can accomplish much more than any one of us can alone.

Announcing Our 2024 Change Maker
91 Place will not forget June 11, 2024, where they were named the Impact 100 2024 Change Maker!
91 Place was the Health & Wellness Focus Area Committee Finalist. The organization serves homeless youth, ages 16-24, by providing transitional housing for up to 2 years using a comprehensive wellness strategy. The Change Maker Grant will fund The Creating Permanency in Transitional Housing project. This project is an urgent response to the pending sale of their flagship home, which houses 4 youth and 2 house mentors. The home’s owners are offering the property to 91 Place at a price far below its appraised value. This opportunity creates equity, avoids a costly and disruptive move and eliminates the necessity of finding another suitable house when few are on the market.
Four other local nonprofits received unrestricted Community Support Grants of $11,000 each:
- Arts, Culture & Preservation: Iibada Dance Company, Artsforce Development Project
- Education: Kids ’Voice of Indiana, Little Voices, Big Futures
- Environment & Animal Welfare: Medical Mutt Service Dogs, Mutt Mentors Fostering Program
- Family: Coburn Place Safe Haven, Two-Generation Rapid Rehousing & Supportive Service Program

19th Annual Awards Celebration
This year’s Annual Awards Celebration were held at The Heirloom Indianapolis, and the night was a huge success. Proceeds from the Wine and Spirits Pull and the Cookie Sales go to support Impact 100’s “Friend” fund, which helps us keep the ticket cost to the event down and supports operating costs and overhead expenses. These funds ensure that 100% of each membership donation goes directly to the annual Impact 100 Greater Indianapolis grant pool.
A big thank you to all their members and their guests for allowing us to share how powerful empowering women in our community can be with Impact 100 Greater Indianapolis. And a really big thank you to our sponsors, patrons, underwriters, and donors!
