Who
100 + members donate $1,000.  Each have 1 vote to decide where to give $100,000.  They are a group of like-minded people who want to make a positive difference but may not have the individual capacity to make very large gifts.

What
IMPACT100 Sydney North is a sub-fund of Australian Communities Foundation (ACF) so all donations are fully tax-deductible and the whole $1,000 donation goes directly towards the grants.

Where
They give to charities in the Greater Sydney region. While many of their members live in Sydney’s north, they have members throughout NSW as well as interstate. Everyone is welcome to join.

Why
The Impact model solves the problems holding many back from giving –

- where do I start?
- how do I know where my money is going?
- how do I know my donation is making an impact?

Working collaboratively, they research and select charities, giving members choice and involvement. They work with grant recipients allowing members to see close-up the results of their giving. They pool their donations so collectively their money has more impact.

How
Join a like-minded, community driven group of extraordinary people who want to have a social impact beyond what they could achieve alone.

By joining the collective giving movement, philanthropy is within the reach of most of them.
