Impact 100 Palm Beach County Kicks Off Season

Join the impactful group of women creating change in Palm Beach County! Impact 100 Palm Beach County (PBC) is hosting its annual Fall Kickoff event, chaired by Carrie Rubin, on Oct. 19 at 5:30 p.m. at Neiman Marcus in Boca Raton. Members and prospective members will toast to the upcoming grant year while mingling among elegant fashions and learning more about the women’s nonprofit organization.

“We are so excited to kick off our grant giving season at Neiman Marcus and to share our mission with our friends and prospective members,” said President Kelly Fleming. “The more members we have, the greater impact we can make by funding nonprofit initiatives.”

Now in its 12th year with 727 members in 2021-22, the Impact 100 PBC chapter is the second largest in the world. Since its inception, Impact 100 PBC has awarded more than $5.2 million in grants to local nonprofits.

“Impact 100 PBC is a dynamic leader in women’s philanthropy, bringing new resources to our area and making philanthropy accessible,” continued Fleming. “We strive to connect, engage and inspire women to improve our community by collectively funding impactful $100,000 grants to nonprofits in our area that are dedicated to addressing the challenges facing our community.”

Impact 100 Palm Beach County is a women’s 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization funding local nonprofit initiatives in southern Palm Beach County — between Lake Worth Road and the Broward County Line. It is comprised of a growing number of women who donate $1,000 annually, pool all funds and vote to award multiple $100,000 grants to nonprofits serving southern Palm Beach County in five areas: Arts, Culture and Historic Preservation; Education; Environment and Animal Welfare; Family; and Health and Wellness.

The Boca Raton Observer is the event’s exclusive media sponsor.
