AUGUST 2023
The Grants Committee is hard at work reviewing the applications for grants that will be awarded to four non-profits in 2023. We will be awarding two $100,000 grants, and awarding $15,000 each to the two runner-up finalists. This year’s giving will put us over $1M in total grants awarded to Nashville non-profits since our inception in 2014. Now that’s an IMPACT!
Please continue to tell your friends and colleagues about Impact100 Nashville so we can grow our IMPACT in Nashville. Members can join for 2024 right now – and all throughout the year up to May 31 of 2024.
Please visit our website at https://nashville.impact100council.org to view upcoming events and stay connected. In particular, mark your calendars for our annual Membership Meeting and Voting Event to be held on November 2 this year at 5:30 pm. Thank you to VACO our sponsor for the event. Watch your email for announcements about this and other events.

If you would like to pay your 2024 membership fee in monthly payments, please contact Tina Percy, Impact100 Nashville Treasurer at finance@nashville.impact100council.org to set up an installment plan so you can forget about it and just enjoy membership. Tell all your friends about Impact100 and how they can pay monthly.
WHO'S YOUR BUDDY?
Hopefully, by now, you have your Impact100 Board Buddy on speed dial, but if not we're here to help! The Board Buddy program is designed to give each member a Board or Advisory Board Buddy, who lives in the same general area as you so that you will have a local connection and resource. The Buddy is there to answer questions, help keep you up-to-speed with all things Impact100 Nashville, and perhaps periodically host a local coffee or other informal get-togethers. They might even see if there is interest in carpooling to events. They're there to help, so don't hesitate to connect whenever you need them.
