On September 23rd, Impact100 DC awarded its founding year grant of $105,000 to Access Youth, Inc., and announced the challenge to double its 2022 membership and number of high impact grant awards.
Access Youth’s mission is to keep at-risk girls of color in school and out of the criminal justice system through mediation, restorative justice, and positive youth development. “Access Youth is honored and thrilled to be Impact100 DC’s inaugural grantee.
We are an all-volunteer women’s philanthropic community dedicated to improving lives in the Greater Washington, DC area by collectively funding transformational grants to local nonprofit organizations.
The collective contributions of 109 founding members resulted in our first high-impact grant of $105,000.
For the first time, women in the Washington metro region can use this successful global model to make meaningful change together – in a diverse region filled with opportunity and inequity.
Our vision:
* To address unmet needs in our community, prioritizing those that result from systemic racism and structural inequity;
*To create and sustain a diverse community of dynamic women committed to building bridges across the wide demographic divides in the Washington DC area; and
* To empower women as philanthropists and leaders.
