Impact100 2023, hosted by the Yampa Valley Community Foundation in Steamboat Springs, is a highly anticipated event that is set to make a significant difference in the local community. The Yampa Valley Community Foundation has been serving the community since 2000, and this year’s Impact100 event promises to be one of the most impactful yet.
Impact100 is a unique fundraising model that has been growing in popularity in recent years. The premise is simple: 100 or more individuals donate $1,000 each, and the total funds raised are distributed to local non-profit organizations in grants of $100,000 or more. This model allows individuals to come together and make a significant impact on their local community through collective giving.
Nominating:
The Impact100 2023 event begins with a nominating process. Members of the community are invited to nominate local non-profit organizations that they believe are making a significant difference in the community. The nominated organizations must have a proven track record of impact and be able to demonstrate how they will use the grant to make a meaningful difference in the lives of those they serve.
The nomination event was held on March 9, 2023, with an impressive turnout from the community. The event was designed to recognize and celebrate outstanding individuals and organizations that are making a significant positive impact on society. The audience cast their votes after a meet and greet with all the participating nonprofits. The top 3 nonprofits to receive the most votes will proceed to the next stage of this event.
Presentation:
Once the nominations are received, the Yampa Valley Community Foundation will vet the organizations to ensure that they meet the necessary criteria. The qualifying organizations will then be invited to present their proposals to the Impact100 membership at a public presentation event. This event is an opportunity for the organizations to showcase their work and explain how they will use the grant funds to make a difference in the community.
Voting:
After the presentations are complete, the Impact100 members will have the opportunity to vote on which organizations they believe should receive the grants. The organizations with the most votes will receive the grants, and the funds will be distributed at a later date.
The Impact100 2023 event is a unique opportunity for individuals in the Yampa Valley community to come together and make a meaningful difference in the lives of those they serve.
