What are the different membership levels?

We have 3 levels of membership to enable our 100% volunteer organization to fund scholarships, recognize finalists who do not receive a grant, and defray our operating expenses:
1) Member Champion ( $1500 or more). You can select the amount over $1000 to be applied to fund operational and/or our scholarship fund.
2) Member Plus ($1100 – $1499) with the amount over $1000 to be used offset general operating expenses.
3) Member ($1000) 100% of this donation will be applied to the 2022 Grant.

What time period does my Impact 100 East Bay membership cover?

Membership in Impact100 East Bay is renewed annually. Our annual membership campaign runs from January 1 through December 31 of any given year. The donation you make will go towards the grant made in the following year. (e.g. membership donations received through December 31st of the current year will be awarded at the next year’s Fall Grant Celebration (usually September or October).

Can I contribute through my donor advised fund (DAF)?

Yes, we welcome donations through donor-advised funds or sometimes called charitable giving accounts. Please use the paper check option below and we will email you receipt that may be submitted to your institution. If you have further questions, please contact us at membership@impact100eastbay.org.

Do you have any payment plans?

We realize that many members have never given a charitable gift of this size and that a $1,000 donation is not possible in one lump sum. Payment plans are available to help you manage your budgeting process. To arrange a payment plan, we ask for a $200 initial payment, then we can work with you to arrange the balance. We ask that members requesting a payment plan, contribute at the Member Plus level of at least $1100, where $100 goes to our operating fund. To discuss, please email info@impact100eastbay.org

Can I purchase multiple memberships and receive more votes?

Each member is limited to one vote. However, if you’d like to donate to our scholarship fund through our ‘friends’ donation, you would be helping other women get involved in this wonderful organization.
