THE IMPACT OF IMPACT

At Impact 100 NYC, impact is at the heart of all we do. Our engagement extends beyond the monetary grants as we actively support our grantees, from volunteering to fulfilling wish lists, such as these opportunities from our 2024 grant finalists: 

GRANTEE PROJECTS AND WISH LISTS
