Membership FAQs
Membership is valid for one year from January - December. Each membership donation that is paid-in-full before the March 31 deadline provides voting membership for that year (so members joining before March 31 will have the ability to participate in grant selection and voting in November of that year). Members who pay after the annual membership deadline will be included in member communications and events, but are not eligible to vote until the following year.
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 Impact100, reaching out to nonprofits, working on member relations, photography, videography, etc. We encourage you to get involved!
At this time, we are not offering installment payment plans. However, we will be offering partial scholarships. Please email treasurer@impact100atlanta.org and we will be happy to discuss a solution for your unique situation.
We welcome all donations and are thrilled when an individual, foundation, or corporation wants to help us through monetary or in-kind service donations. Although they do not provide voting rights, these donations help cover program and operating expenses that are essential to accomplishing our mission. Further, if you want to become a member but can’t make a donation of $1,000, please email treasurer@impact100atlanta.org for scholarship opportunities.
Although additional gifts are always welcome, each Member is limited to one vote per person per year. But you can prepay your membership for subsequent years and/or sponsor others to join.
Impact100 Atlanta is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization. Depending on your tax status, contributions are tax-deductible for the year in which they were made. You will receive a donation receipt from Impact100 Atlanta that can be used for tax purposes. Please consult your tax advisor.
Yes, we are 501(c)(3) and can accept matching donations. If you are able to, we recommend your company matches your full membership dues so we can use those funds to run Impact100 Atlanta.
No. Because we pay the grants in dollars, all membership donations must go directly to grants. However, we are happy to accept in-kind donations to offset our administrative costs.
Women and those who identify as women over the age of 18 are eligible for membership. Anyone can participate by sponsoring a woman to be an Impact100 Atlanta voting member or by donating any amount to the administrative fund. We also appreciate men participating by encouraging the women they know to become members.
