Impact100 TC is on a mission to unlock the collective power of women to create sustainable change in the Twin Cities. We’re creating a space for badass women to unite and meaningfully engage with local nonprofits, each year investing in grant-making that we believe can have a transformational impact in our community.
The Impact100 model was founded in 2001 by Wendy Steele, who saw an opportunity to expand and encourage women’s roles in philanthropy. Wendy launched the organization with a goal of empowering women to see themselves as activists by utilizing large grants to directly impact their communities. Impact100 chapters have given more than $120 million in grants and now has over 60 chapters worldwide and growing.
The Twin Cities chapter was launched in 2023 by Morgan Kennedy and Brianna Springer, who both felt the pull to invest in our city, promote social change and support underserved populations through authentic connection, personal and professional growth, and a little fun along the way!
Impact100 Twin Cities is a 501(c)3 tax-exempt organization.
