Founded in 2017, Impact Grants Chicago connects, engages and empowers women to improve our community by collectively funding $100,000 grants to Chicago nonprofits that are dedicated to addressing the challenges facing our city. Impact Grants Chicago is one of more than seventy Impact 100 chapters worldwide and joins its sister chapters in embracing the local collective giving model. The model is simple. At least 100 women each give a $1,000 tax deductible donation, and together they collectively award grants in increments of $100,000 to local nonprofits.
