Up to 100 women

$1,100 each

Pooled total granted locally every year

​​​​​​​​

Impact100 is a global giving model for women that turns individual generosity into collective impact. Founded in 2001 in Cincinnati, USA, there are now more than 70 chapters worldwide. Members pool their donations to fund a yearly grant to an outstanding local charity, enabling high-impact projects that create real community change.

 

Here in Aotearoa, Impact100 Wakatipu has already granted over NZ$1 million since launching in 2020.

​

Impact100 Canterbury members contribute $1,100 each year. Of this, $100 covers administration, $100 supports the Kate Sheppard Women’s Fund, and the remainder goes toward annual grants. Our first grant round launches later this year, and will focus on supporting women and families in Christchurch, Selwyn and Waimakariri. 

​ ​

How does it work?

​

1. Local registered charities aligned with our mission will be invited to apply.

2. Members will assess proposals through a collaborative and transparent process.

3. Finalists will pitch to the full group.

4. Members vote to decide who receives the major grant.

​

Along the way, members have the opportunity to learn, connect with like-minded women, and deepen their understanding of local community needs.
