Impact The Palm Beaches is not just a matter of facilitating generosity, it is a matter of harnessing the power of women each of whom commits $1,000, to effect social change in our community.
In 2015, Deborah Johnson and Bridget Baratta decided it was time to launch an Impact100 group that would benefit central and northern Palm Beach County. The venture philanthropy effect is making a big impact with a targeted investment of $100,000 Impact grants to area non-profits.
The Impact100 Model has great appeal as it leveraged the power of efficient, collaborative and highly focused philanthropy – driven by women.
