Impact100 DC’s Fellowship program is designed to provide a path to membership for women who want to make an active contribution and need financial assistance in order to join. A central tenet of Impact100 DC’s vision is that a community of women with widely diverse lived experiences and perspectives is essential to the work of identifying and responding to inequities and unmet needs in the Washington area. The Fellowship program supports that vision.
The Impact DC Fellowship is a one-year commitment, renewed annually, with a three-year plan. Fellows make no financial contribution in year one, a $250 contribution in year two, and a $450 contribution in year three.
The application process is now closed for the 2020-2021 cycle.
Applicants must be at least 21 years old; identify as female; and live or work in Washington, DC; the counties of Montgomery, Prince George’s, Fairfax, and Arlington; or the cities of Alexandria, Fairfax or Falls Church.
