Message From the Board Impact100 Atlanta Members and Friends,
In the final weeks of 2026 Member Recruitment Season, I want to express my gratitude to each of you for your engagement, enthusiasm, and belief in the mission of Impact100 Atlanta. Thank you - whether you joined us as a member, attended an event, brought someone new into our community, or simply shared what Impact100 Atlanta is all about - it is so important to our mission!
One of our recruiting season’s true highlights was our signature Evening with Impact, an inspiring night that captured the spirit of what Impact100 Atlanta is all about: women coming together to learn, connect, and fund transformative change. Hearing directly from our nonprofit grantees is always a powerful reminder of what we’re building together, and the energy made it an evening to remember. If you weren’t able to attend, you can watch the recording here.
With our March 31 membership deadline just around the corner, I’m proud to share that we’re more than halfway to our goal of funding Five Grants in Year Five. But time is short and every member counts — to award a grant in each of our five focus areas, we need you! Confirm your commitment today, and spread the word to someone who should be part of our community. Two member-hosted happy hours remain before the March 31 deadline – Thursday, 3/26 and Monday, 3/30. Been meaning to introduce someone to Impact100? This is your chance! Email membership@impact100atlanta.org for event and location details. I have so enjoyed connecting with many of you this recruiting season, and I look forward to being with you at the Big Reveal in April! With Gratitude, Meg Bender Membership Chair

Our Lucky Winner!
Thank you to everyone who confirmed their 2026 Membership before February 14 to be eligible for a one-of-a-kind necklace donated by KHM Jewelry. One lucky member is now the owner of a stunning Ceylon sapphire faceted bead necklace, complete with an 18kt yellow gold clasp and a 24kt gold and diamond charm. And … the winner is Pat Lamar! Though I think she’d agree the real winners are those whose lives our nonprofits transform everyday with the help of Impact100 Atlanta.
Like Pat herself, many of our amazing members opened their homes, hosted gatherings, and helped introduce new women to the works of Impact100 Atlanta these past months. A huge and resounding THANK YOU to all of you who led and participated in those events. It is this type of personal outreach that helps us grow our organization and to create a wider IMPACT in our community. |
