A $1,000 Membership Donation to Impact Grants Chicago entitles you to vote for the grant recipients at the annual Grant Awards Celebration. In addition, members whose donations are received by December 31 may choose to participate in the grant review process by joining a Grant Review or Financial Review Committee.

For women who would like to be involved with Impact Grants Chicago but may not be able to fully fund a membership on their own, we offer the option of applying for a full or partial Member Sponsorship through our Member Sponsorship Program.

Membership PLUS for an extra $150

What is membership PLUS?
Did you know that Impact Grants Chicago is an entirely volunteer-run organization? To cover our annual operational costs of $40,000, we kindly ask our members to consider joining with a 115% membership donation. The extra 15% contribution will go to maintaining our website, membership and accounting software, conducting financial audits, purchasing insurance, printing materials, and more. To learn more about our budget, please review our annual report or contact our Treasurer.

We are now accepting members for the 2025/26 grant year.
