Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Impact giving model work?
We award high-impact grants to nonprofits in the Greater Richmond region by:
- Engaging at least 150 women to award one transformational grant by making individual contributions of $1100 or $600 each year. The amount granted is based on total contributions received. A small portion of each contribution, approximately $100, supports daily operations and membership development.
- Awarding at least one annual $100,000 grant to a local nonprofit as determined by a vote of the membership. Every member, regardless of giving level, gets a vote at the Big Give.
- Educating members about community issues and the nonprofits that are addressing those issues most effectively.
- Forming member-led Grants Review Committees to review and select the grant finalists.
