MEMBER UPDATES:
Thank you for your commitment to Impact100 of Northwest Florida and for being part of our 2026 membership.
Your generosity and dedication are what make it possible for us to create meaningful change across our community. I am truly excited for the year and all that we will accomplish - making a difference in the lives of others, together - by strengthening the community we are proud to call home.
I have very much enjoyed meeting many of you at our member enrollment events! The year is just getting started, and we have exciting times ahead.
We are still totaling up our numbers, so I look forward to making that official announcement at our Member Reveal Event on May 19 - more details are below! Please mark your calendar and register to attend.
Not only will we announce our 2026 members (and Grants) total, but we will also have committee chairs on hand to sign up any members interested in volunteering throughout the year!
Hope to see you there!!

We Can Do It – And We Need You!!
Help us be a part of our Grant Evaluation Process as a member of one of our Focus Area Committees. It’s here where we start the process to determine who will ultimately receive our grants.
Who: Anyone who wants to be a member of one of our Focus Area Committees can!
When: Training will be held on both August 22 or August 25 (you only need to attend one). Site visits will occur in September and you must attend at least 75% of the visits to have a vote on the committee. Where: Site visits occur all over Walton and Okaloosa counties at the agencies who have applied for our grants.
It’s a great way to learn more about the various non-profit work that goes on in our community. Whether you are new to the area, or have lived here your whole life, it is an eye-opening experience to get out into our community! It’s also a great way to meet other members, as the site visits are all done in person, as well as some of the training and follow up voting. To learn more, as well as to sign up for one of our committees, click here. |
