A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT |

|
Impact100 SRQ is so excited to mark our 5th Giving Year milestone in 2023.
The positive change we have made in our community by funding 15 grants and donating an aggregate of $1,637,000 since 2019 is extraordinary.
I want to thank each one of you for your continued commitment to our mission and the impact you have made. Your passion for the Impact100 SRQ model has allowed us to touch every part of our community, allowing our nonprofit recipients to address specific needs for their services that will have a sustainable high impact for years to come. We are a unique asset to Sarasota & Manatee Counties, and the positive change we make together, reflects the strength of our collective giving.
If you have already renewed for our 2023 giving year, I want to sincerely thank you for your generosity. If you haven’t yet renewed, we hope that you will think about continuing this journey with us. Every Member Matters. Mark your calendars! We will celebrate our 5th Giving Year at the Big Reveal on March 21, 2023, when we will announce our 2023 collective membership and available dollars for grant funding this year.
On behalf of the entire Board of Directors, thank you for being a part of Impact100 SRQ and your continued investment in our amazing local community. - Pam Kandziora |

Impact Member, Laurel Lynch
"Being a member of Impact100 SRQ is the perfect philanthropic endeavor for me. Increasing my knowledge of our local needs, bringing about favorable transformation in the community, while making new friends; what’s not to love? When I blend my passion for making a difference in our community with the Impact100 model, multiplied by hundreds of like-minded women, the positive outcome is astronomical. Together we do so much more than I could ever imagine to do on my own." |

Impact Member, Donna Gora
"When I moved here, I was looking for a diverse group of cause-filled women to become acquainted with and a way to learn more about my new community and the causes Sarasota Manatee feel are important. IMPACT100 SRQ has certainly met this need! I renew annually as a part of my annual giving." |
