Membership

Ready to Become a Member?

We realize $1,000 is a stop and think gift.

For many of our members, $1,000 represents sacrifice and intentional budgeting to make a charitable gift of this size. That is by design. The goal is for each member to feel fully invested in and connected to their giving, and the transformational grants that result from it. Your membership is yours to shape. Whether you join us at the annual meeting to vote, lend your voice on a committee reviewing nonprofit applications, or host an event on a day that works for you — every bit of involvement matters. However much time you have to give, we're grateful to have you.

Deadline to Join & Complete Payment: March 31, 2027.

Member

$1,000

100% of your membership contribution will go to fund our grants.

Member PLUS

$1,100

Because 100% of your membership goes towards our grants, we encourage members to contribute an extra $100/year to cover administrative costs.

Member PLUS Champion

$1,600

Includes membership, $100/year to cover administrative costs, plus a $500 Member Match that helps another woman be able to join.

PAYMENT OPTIONS:  Once you complete our online Member Registration Process, you will be offered several options to pay your Membership Donation.  Payments can be accepted online via Stripe (Credit Card, Apple Pay, etc.), or via Zelle, check (personal, IRA or DAF) or stock donation.  We also participate in employer match programs so check and see if your employer will cover part or all of your dues!  In order to ensure that a full $1000 of each member's donation will fund our grant pool, we charge 3.1% on all transactions via Stripe (payment processor) to cover processing fees. Please mail checks to: Impact100 Los Angeles, P.O. Box TBD Zelle to treasurer@impact100losangeles.org.

All payments must be received no later than March 31, 2027.

Member Match Program

Impact100 Los Angeles believes every woman should have the opportunity to experience the power of collective giving. Thanks to the generosity of our Member PLUS Champions, we offer a limited number of Member Matches each year.

If the full $1,000 membership contribution is a barrier this year, you are invited to request a Member Match. If selected, you will contribute $500 toward your membership, and a Member PLUS Champion will contribute the remaining $500, giving you full membership and voting privileges.

Women receiving a Member Match are expected to be active participants in Impact100 Atlanta by serving on a focus area committee, operational committee, or otherwise contributing their time and talents to the success and mission of our organization.

Member Match requests are reviewed by the Executive Committee in the order they are received. Because the number of Member Matches is limited, submitting a request does not guarantee one will be available. We make every effort to notify applicants of our decisions no later than March 15 each year. If selected, members must complete the Membership Application and submit their $500 member contribution by the March 31 membership deadline.

Confidentiality: Requests for Member Matches are treated confidentially. Impact100 Los Angeles will not disclose the names of members receiving a Member Match outside of the Board of Directors.

Membership FAQ

  • You can join at any time throughout the year. If you'd like to take part in the June selection of final grant and award recipients, your membership payment must be completed by March of that same year. Members who join anytime are still welcome to get involved in Impact100 events, committees, and volunteer activities all year long.

  • Easy all you have to do is make your $1000 donation towards our annual grant to be a member and have the opportunity to vote. Please visit the Membership page which highlights the various opportunities and methods of payment.

  • Your only obligation is your $1,000 donation — how involved you get beyond that is up to you. We hope you'll vote for grant recipients at our Annual Meeting, and welcome any skills you'd like to share, from grant reviews and event planning to design, writing, and member relations. However you choose to engage, Impact100 values every member who shares our vision to improve lives in Los Angeles.

  • Women and those who identify as women, 18 and older, are eligible for membership.

Help us grow our impact in Los Angeles by inviting the women in your life to join!

  • Membership is valid for one year from January - December. Each membership donation that is paid-in-full before the March 31 deadline provides voting membership for that year (so members joining before March 31 will have the ability to participate in grant selection and voting in November of that year). Members who pay after the annual membership deadline will be included in member communications and events, but are not eligible to vote until the following year.

  • Yes, we accept installment payments. You may sign up anytime during our annual grant cycle, however full membership fee of $1000 must be paid by March 31st in order to vote in that grant cycle. Please contact us at hello@impact100losangeles.org if you would like to set up a payment plan.

    I want to give more than the required membership donation. Do I get more than one vote?

    Although additional gifts are always welcome, each Member is limited to one vote per person per year. But you can prepay your membership for subsequent years and/or sponsor others to join.

  • While in-kind donations help offset operational costs, your membership must be a monetary gift — it goes directly toward funding transformational grants that uplift lives across our community.

  • Yes! Impact100 Los Angeles is flexible and welcomes you at any level of engagement. Every member chooses their level of participation in our all-volunteer organization.

  • The Impact100 model works because every member gives the same amount ($1,000) and gets one vote. Reach out to us regarding Member Match Program regarding deadlines and process to apply.

  • Impact100 Los Angeles is a qualified 501(c)(3) tax exempt charitable organization. All contributions are tax deductible to the full extent of the law. You will receive a donation receipt from Impact100 Atlanta that can be used for tax purposes. Please consult your tax advisor.
