Annual Calendar

To better understand our program, here is a basic overview of a typical year. It starts with June because that is the both the end and the beginning of our annual grant making.

This is the general calendar. Click here to go to the most current calendar.

June

  • Our Annual Awards Celebration with presentations by the nonprofits competing for our annual $100,000 grant. These presentations are followed by the Membership Vote and the announcement of the grant recipients. Keep an eye on the Annual Celebration page to keep yourself updated on planning for the current event and an overview of the previous one(s).
  • Membership enrollment unofficially begins at the Annual Celebration with prizes to members joining at the Celebration.

July

  • Vacation Month, no activities while the Board and members enjoy the summer.

August

  • Committee Chair transitions

September

  • Official Membership Kickoff Event (location and timing varies)

October

November

  • Educational event featuring one or more past recipients.
  • Nonprofit Workshop for nonprofits interested in learning more about our grants and granting processes. There will be previous grant recipients as well as representatives from Impact 100 providing information and answering questions. Since we are an all-volunteer organization and it is difficult for us to respond quickly to individual questions, it is highly recommended that interested nonprofits attend this short workshop.
