Volunteering

Volunteer Options 2022-2023

1. COMMUNITY PARTNERS COMMITTEE

You will see how our nonprofit grant recipients implement their grant dollars, gain knowledge of our nonprofit partners’ winning projects, attend on-site visits, learn how our accountability and follow-up procedures work, and offer guidance through the grant implementation process. Time Commitment: October – April.

2. EVENTS COMMITTEE

This is the perfect opportunity to get to know other Impact members in a small group setting. From event planning to helping with general tasks on a one-day-only event, we can use your help. Various events include the Kickoff Brunch, Impact Day, Meet the Finalists Reception, and the Annual Meeting. Time Commitment: October – April.

3. FINANCE COMMITTEE

If you have a financial background or expertise and want to be an integral part of the Grants Committee we would appreciate your talents. A financial analyst on a grant panel reviews the grants with a special focus on the financial reports. Time Commitment: January – February. 

4. GENERAL VOLUNTEER COMMITTEE

If you want to get involved for just one event, we welcome your help with event registration, set-up and breakdown at events, greeting guests at small gatherings, and other one-time-only activities. Time Commitment: October – April. 

5. GRANTS COMMITTEE

You will experience first-hand how our grant process works. You will read, review, and score grant applications, make site visits, and recommend which applicants move to the next phase of member voting. Plus you will increase your awareness of our community needs and appreciation for the work of these nonprofits. Time Commitment: January – February. Membership dues must be paid by December 1st to join this committee. 

6. MARKETING COMMITTEE

This is a great opportunity to help promote the Impact 100 brand and the achievements of our community partners to members, potential members, and the community at large. Social media, advertising, PR, and writing skills are helpful but not necessary. Time Commitment: Sporadic but year-round. 

7. MEMBERSHIP COMMITTEE

Do you enjoy meeting new people? Then help us recruit members, welcome and engage new members, help current members stay involved, plan member gatherings, make phone calls, and welcome members at events. It is a great way to get connected. Time Commitment: Year-round with most work done by phone or email. Meetings are sporadic. 

8. SMALL GATHERING HOSTESS

Would you like to host a get together in your home or at your club, a restaurant or other venue? This is one of the best ways to recruit new members who want to learn about Impact 100. While a list of potential members from you is helpful, it is not necessary. Time Commitment: Whenever you want. 

9. SPONSORSHIP COMMITTEE

Do you have a knack for fundraising or sales? We can use your talents to attract sponsors to help fund our events. You will work with vendors on all levels, maintain relationships, and explore new ideas and areas for sponsorship opportunities. Time Commitment: Sporadic but year-round. 

10. VISIONING COMMITTEE

This committee works with local nonprofits interested in applying for a grant by explaining our grant guidelines and application process, and helping them fine tune their “big idea” for a grant proposal. You will explore with them ways to improve the application, guide them in the process, and suggest other nonprofits which may be interested in collaborating on a proposal. Time Commitment: Sporadic but year-round.
