Frequently asked questions

Impact the Palm Beaches is a simple commitment to efficient and effective philanthropy. We are a women's philanthropic group where each member contributes $1,000 per year and for every 100 members we award a $100,000 grant to a local, vetted non-profit program that is innovative, transformational, and sustainable. Each year at the annual awards ceremony, non-profit finalists are invited to speak and members vote to determine who will receive our $100,000 grants. The Town of Palm Beaches United Way is our fiscal agent.

There are 5 grant focus areas: Arts/Culture Education Environment Family Health/Wellness We award grants to non-profit organizations that serve Palm Beach County from north of Lake Worth Road to the Martin County line and out to the Glades.
