The remaining three finalists will receive Merit Grants. The Grant Awards Celebration will be held on Wednesday, May 28 at Venue West, 221 N Paulina Street starting at 5:45pm.

ABOUT IMPACT GRANTS CHICAGO
Impact Grants Chicago is an all-volunteer women’s collective giving organization with members from all over the Chicago area. Women join by making a donation of $1,000 for the grant year. 100% of member donations are pooled to create Impact Grants of $100,000 to be awarded to nonprofit organizations in Chicago. In the fall of each year, nonprofits submit applications, which are vetted over the course of six months by member committees to determine the finalists. At the Grant Awards Celebration, each member is given one vote and the grants are awarded that night. 100% of donations go to the nonprofits.
