Women over the age of 18 are eligible for membership. Anyone can participate by sponsoring a woman to be an Impact 100 voting member or by donating any amount to the administrative fund as well as offering in-kind contributions.

No. Because we pay the grants in dollars, all membership donations must go directly to grants. However, we welcome in-kind donations to offset our administrative costs.

Thank you! And, no. Every member gets one vote even if they give more than $1000. If you want to give more than $1000, please indicate how much you wish to donate to administrative funds. If you wish to give an additional $1000, you could consider offering a scholarship or sponsoring another woman to be an Impact 100 voting member.

Yes, we gratefully accept employer matching gifts. If you are applying for such a match, please note this on the membership form and let us know if you will need documentation from Impact 100 in order to apply for the matching gift.

We gladly accept stock donations for membership and administrative funds. Email membership@impact100baldwincounty.org to request a stock transfer form to begin the process.

Members don‘t have account numbers with Impact. If your bank or credit card asks for one, just put [your name] Membership Dues when asked for an account number. If you are asked for a phone number, give your own.

Yes. We want to make joining Impact 100 as easy as possible. Use the application form to tell us the amount and frequency of your payments and let us know if you will be paying by check or bank/credit card autopay. If we do not receive the full $1000 (plus any applicable processing fees) by the final March 31 deadline, your donations will be recognized as a tax-deductible donation, but you will not be a member for the year.

Yes, if you join online. Pay with a credit card or PayPal here. A 3% processing fee will be added automatically to the total when you use a credit card or PayPal.

Impact 100 is an IRS recognized 501(c)(3) charitable organization. Your donation is tax deductible to the full extent permitted by law.

Our work is done by member volunteers and we have no paid staff. We pay administrative costs through funds gathered from:

---

Members making administrative donations in addition to their membership donation.
Spouses, friends and employers who choose to support the member and the organization through donations.
Employer matches, corporate sponsorships, and in-kind donations.

A full 100% of your membership dues—each and every dollar—is awarded in grants to nonprofit organizations serving Baldwin County. Any donation over $1000 goes to administrative expenses.

We greatly appreciate donations of any size to our administrative fund. We use this fund to cover operating expenses and occasionally to supplement the grant fund. You can also give directly to the grant fund.

Evergreen is a new program for us, beginning with our 2021 membership campaign. Evergreen members pledge to annually renew their membership, so we start each year able to count on a core group of continuing members and to focus our efforts on bringing in new members and building our grant pool. Evergreen members will receive invitations to special events, as well as recognition in the membership directory and on their nametags.

Your only obligation is your $1,000 donation. We hope you also vote to select the grant recipients. And we really hope you will consider sharing your skills and talents in any of a number of ways, including evaluating grant applications, graphic design, writing and editing, media relations, data entry, technology management, planning and/or hosting events, recruiting corporate sponsors, speaking to groups about Impact, reaching out to nonprofits, working on member relations, photography, videography, helping with done-in-a-day projects. We encourage you to get involved!
