In its 15th year, the ladies of Impact 100 Palm Beach County have announced the finalists in the running for its $100,000 grants.
The concept of the group, which has chapters around the country, is that with donations done as a collective, they can make a greater impact. For Impact 100 Palm Beach County, the membership has grown to the size that they were able to donate more than $800,000 to area nonprofits last year. Plus, the Junior League of Boca Raton added an additional $10,000 donation.
“Impact 100 Palm Beach County has always been about the power of women coming together to make a difference,” Janean Mileusnic, president of Impact 100 Palm Beach County, said in a press statement. “In our 15th year, that mission feels stronger than ever. These organizations remind us what’s possible when compassion meets action.”
