What A Night! $555,000 in Grants Awarded
Grant Award Night 2022 celebrated our community and the power of women coming together to make a significant difference through transformative gifts!
More than 400 Impact San Antonio members, sponsors, agency representatives, friends and guests gathered October 24 at the Witte Museum for our biggest night of the year — our 18th annual Grant Award Night.
A festive reception kicked off the evening as guests mingled and enjoyed refreshments amid the exhibits in the museum’s Dinosaur Gallery. Afterward, the crowd moved down the hall to the Mays Family Center, where they viewed highlights of the finalist presentations and then heard the exciting announcements of this year’s High Impact and Support grants. They also viewed video updates from the 2021 High Impact Grant recipients on how their projects are progressing.
Thanks to our members’ generous contributions, Impact SA was able to award a total of $555,000 in grants to 10 outstanding nonprofits this year. Five agencies — one in each of our focus areas — received $100,000 High Impact Grants. The remaining five finalists received $11,000 Support Grants. We wish all these nonprofits the best as they work to improve the lives of so many in our community!
And thank you to Valero, our presenting sponsor for this event. We are proud to have their support!
Following the event, Impact SA donated all the decorations to three area nonprofits. Flower arrangements and the lit trees went to the Village at Incarnate Word. Crates of fresh produce were delivered to San Antonio Clubhouse to be enjoyed by their clients. And seven potted landscape grasses were donated to the Ecumenical Center, which will be added to their meditation garden.
