Welcome from the Board Chair

Thank you for considering becoming a member of the Women’s Impact Fund.  Your investment and involvement will secure the future of this exciting organization and have a positive impact on our community, across Mecklenburg County.

The purpose of the Women’s Impact Fund is to engage and educate women in philanthropy to strengthen our community.  Through membership and grantmaking, the Women’s Impact Fund  provides significant resources to help address emerging issues and meet critical needs in the areas of Arts and Culture, Education, Environment, Health and Human services.

Since the Women’s Impact Fund was founded four years ago with 158 members, we have grown to over 400 women and have committed close to $1 million to 14 non-profit agencies in our community!  We are making an impact with our funds and our involvement.

As a member, you would agree to a five-year commitment of $6,000, payable annually in the amount of $1,200.  Of this amount, $1,000 will go directly into the grant pool and $200 will be used for operating expenses and staff support.  All members will have a vote on the projects to be funded each year from our grant pool.  This is a unique and innovative way to support your community and have a greater impact.

If you need more information, please contact our offices at 704-973-4589.  I welcome your  involvement and thank you for considering this generous commitment to our community.
