Impact 100 Greater Indianapolis is a women’s giving circle. We create transformational change in our community by empowering women philanthropists to pool their dollars and collectively award annual high impact grants in our Five Focus Areas.  In making our grants we are guided by our Philosophy and Six Core Values: Integrity, Excellence, Thoughtfulness, Collaboration, Humanity, and Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.

We have released our 2026-2027 Calendar!
