The two organizations with the highest number of votes will be awarded $116,000 each at the close of the meeting. This year, Impact 100 has 232 members as it for the second year surpassed its fundraising goal.
Impact 100 is 100 percent volunteer driven and many members played a vital role reviewing proposals including site visits and financial reviews. Each proposal was an exciting example of the important work being done by the non profit sector and a testimony to the future potential of Impact 100 in our community.
We are grateful to all those who volunteered for this important endeavor as well as to the 232 women in Vero Beach from all walks of life and backgrounds who so believe in and generously support this organization.
