President’s message: Race to 500!

Much like the horses that just ran the Kentucky Derby, Impact San Antonio is rounding the last turn and building toward the dash to the finish line — not for a garland of roses, but instead to meet our goal of 500 memberships!

What’s the importance of reaching 500 memberships? Impact San Antonio has five focus areas: Arts & Culture; Education; Environment, Recreation & Preservation; Family; and Health & Wellness. Reaching 500 memberships for 2022 will enable us once again to provide a $100,000 High Impact Grant in each of these focus areas.

Why should you join or renew your membership? As a member of Impact San Antonio, you will learn more about the needs of our community and the amazing agencies that are tirelessly working to address these needs. You will also have the opportunity to meet other women who want to make a positive difference in our community.

As an agency representative recently told me, one of the greatest things that Impact San Antonio does is show women that no matter what your situation is, you are able to be a philanthropist. You can donate your money, you can donate your time and you can donate your voice — or you can do all three!

We are currently at 475 memberships and need your help to reach 500 by the May 15 deadline so we can make an even bigger impact in the community! If you haven’t joined for 2022, we ask you to consider doing so today and also sharing our story with others. Together, we can make a significant IMPACT!
