Impact100 Garden State 2026 Membership Drive is Underway!

Impact100 Garden State is an all-women, all-volunteer organization dedicated to making a meaningful difference in local communities through collective giving. Founded in 2012, it was the first organization of its kind in New Jersey, serving five counties: Morris, Passaic, Somerset, Sussex, and Union. Since its inception, the group has given more than $4 million in grants to area nonprofits.

The 2026 Membership Drive is currently underway and runs through January 31, 2026. Impact100 Garden State operates on a simple yet powerful concept: each member donates $1,000 annually, and those contributions are pooled together to fund $100,000 grants for nonprofits addressing critical community needs such as education, public health, food insecurity, and youth services.

Joining Impact100 Garden State enables members to connect and collaborate with a diverse and fantastic group of women, learn about the local nonprofit community, leverage their donation into something significant, meaningful, and sustainable, and have fun while doing good. Often, members become actively involved with organizations they learn about through Impact100 Garden State, serving as board members and volunteers. In addition, members learn more about ways to increase their philanthropic efforts.

Prospective members are invited to our December Meet & Mingle info sessions—enjoy refreshments, conversation, and explore how Impact100 Garden State members make a difference. These events are open to all local women interested in learning more about membership. Attendees are encouraged to invite friends, colleagues, or neighbors. RSVP at member@impact100gardenstate.org.
