March 9, 2022 – Sarasota
IMPACT100 SRQ announced its 2022 Giving Year grant impact for Sarasota and Manatee Counties at their annual Big Reveal event. The goal to #FundAllFive was surpassed on March 8 when the local women’s organization announced it will fund 6 transformational grants to nonprofits in each of five focus area categories: Arts & Culture, Education, Environment & Recreation, Family and Health & Wellness.
“Each members’ deliberate donation of $1000 is making a $663,000 investment for the betterment of our community. Now is the time for nonprofits to dream big, fill out an eligibility form and submit their initiative that will result in positive change,” said Jane Gill Watt, President.
The Big Reveal took place at the Nathan Benderson Finishing Tower and brought members, supporters, and the community together in anticipation to learn how many women have come together to invest in our community, and how many grants will be funded for the 2022 giving year.
The next phase of the Giving Year starts March 9, with the opening of the online grant application process for nonprofit organizations. After completing a required eligibility form, nonprofits are invited to submit an application for a $110,500 grant at www.impact100SRQ.org.

In just four years, since this local chapter’s inception, the women of Impact100 SRQ will fund 15 grants and will donate $1,637,000 to local nonprofits. Its collective giving model is simple – at least 100 women come together, each invests $1,000, and grants are funded in increments of no less than $100,000. As its membership grows, more grants can be funded and the impact of Impact100 SRQ will be magnified throughout our community.
