corporate giving

Impact Grants Chicago appreciates the financial support provided by our Corporate Sponsors. This support allows Impact Grants Chicago to award $100,000 Impact grants to Chicago nonprofits who are making a difference in our city.

Corporate sponsorship begins at $5,500 and includes Impact Grants Chicago membership for five women employees. Corporate giving expands our membership by sponsoring your women employees as members of Impact Grants Chicago. Your membership donations are applied to our grants, and our collective giving model multiplies your donation to provide $100,000 grants.

Impact Grants Chicago welcomes the opportunity to discuss the impact of women’s collective giving and our philanthropic efforts with potential partners. Please contact info@impactgrantschicago.org to learn more about Corporate Giving.
