President’s message: We did it!!

Thank you, thank you, thank you – WE DID IT!!

Impact San Antonio has reached a total of $555,000 for 2022, enabling us to provide a $100,000 High Impact Grant and an $11,000 Support Grant in each of our five focus areas – Arts & Culture; Education; Environment, Recreation & Preservation; Family; and Health & Wellness.  This is only possible because of you – the amazing women who donate and join our membership each year.

For 2022, a total of 706 women made the decision to join as individual or shared members.  Of those, a whopping 80% are renewing members, which speaks volumes about their ongoing commitment to our mission.  We can’t thank each of you enough for your continued support and willingness to serve as ambassadors to share the work that we all do!  This also means that 20% of our membership is new, and we are thrilled that you have joined us and can’t wait to get to know each of you better!

Now that we’ve reached this milestone, we move on to the next step of identifying the projects deserving of a High Impact Grant.  Impact’s Agencies & Applications team have led the agencies through the application process, and everyone on our Grant Review teams has completed training.  Over the next few months, the Grant Review teams will diligently review the many applications to identify the most deserving projects to be presented as this year’s finalists.

I’m sure you are all as excited as I am to see which projects will be brought forward for our membership to vote on.  While we are waiting, I encourage you to be on the lookout for emails of upcoming events that will help to share the stories of Impact San Antonio and the amazing projects we support.

Finally, I just want to say THANK YOU one more time. We could not have done this without every one of you!!
