Together, we unite dynamic women to power change in our community.

Dear Impact the Palm Beaches Members,

What an extraordinary afternoon we shared at our Annual Member Luncheon. The conversation between Carrie Morgridge and Impact100 Founder Wendy Steele was nothing short of inspiring. Their insights, candor, and deep commitment to transformational philanthropy reminded us why collective giving is such a powerful force. We were treated to a remarkable dialogue that left the room buzzing with energy and possibility. A heartfelt thank-you goes to Dr. Ann Polya for generously sponsoring the luncheon. Her support made this gathering possible, and her belief in our mission continues to strengthen our work in the community.

As we look ahead, our transition to becoming an independent 501(c)(3) continues to move forward step by step. Each milestone brings us closer to standing fully on our own, with the structure and flexibility to grow our reach and deepen our impact in Palm Beach County. 

We are also excited to share enhancements to our Grant Reveal process. On April 14, 2026, every member will have the opportunity to meet our finalists, learn about their organizations firsthand, and hear directly about the projects they hope to bring to life. Then, at our Awards Celebration on April 22, Grant Finalist presentations will take center stage, giving each of us the insight and clarity needed to cast a truly informed vote.

Membership for the 2025–2026 cycle closes March 20, 2026, and we are still striving toward our goal of 500 members. We are about halfway there, and every woman who joins brings us closer to awarding five transformational grants in our community. If you have been considering membership—or know someone who would be inspired by our mission—now is the perfect time to introduce them to Impact the Palm Beaches.

Together, we unite dynamic women to power change. Together, we are making a positive difference.
