Overview
The Community Heroes Grant by Impact100 South Jersey aims to empower smaller nonprofits with operating budgets under $500,000. This initiative supports organizations making significant contributions in Burlington, Camden, Cumberland, and Gloucester Counties. By fostering collective giving among women, the grant enhances community impact, allowing deserving nonprofits to create transformational change. This program complements the larger Core Mission grant, ensuring that more organizations can receive vital support for their operations.
Impact100 South Jersey is a women’s collective giving group. Our goal is to bring together over 100 diverse and philanthropic-minded members who will combine their contributions to give high impact grants to local organizations.
Nonprofits that are not yet large enough to be eligible for our transformative $100,000 Core Mission grant, but who we know are making critical contributions to South Jersey are now eligible for a portion of our collective giving funds. This is a way for us to empower more organizations and give them an opportunity to make transformational change in their local communities. It is also a way for us to broaden and strengthen our relationships with the non-profit community.
The unrestricted operating grants will amplify the work of nonprofit organizations operating on budgets of $500,000 or less. The Community Heroes Grant is a natural complement to our Core Mission grant program which focuses on organizations with operating budgets between $300,000 and $5,000,000.
