Impact 100 Richmond is a grassroots effort that champions the power of women giving together. Its mission is to advance transformative giving in the Richmond region by uniting women’s ideas and actions through philanthropy. The goal is to change the lives of women and their families by transforming a local nonprofit through a significant, collective financial investment.
The above strategy is well-researched, yet simple: 100 women will give $1,000 each to create a $100,000 grant to be given to a mutually-selected nonprofit. More than 100 women may join, however, which will only increase the impact of the program.
Marilyn West, the CEO of M. H. West & Co., Inc., is proud to count herself among the Impact 100 of Richmond and is eager to see the mission fulfilled. The first grant will be awarded to a local nonprofit in Spring 2010. For more information on this program visit the Impact 100 Richmond website here.
