Impact 100 Indian River awarded five $100,000 grants to local nonprofits last week, continuing a model launched in 2009 under the influence of the late Ellie McCabe: one woman, one thousand dollars, one vote. The group has since awarded more than $7 million in grants to Indian River County organizations.
This year, grants were awarded to support the following projects:
Hibiscus Children’s Center: family crisis support
Safe Families for Children Treasure Coast: bilingual staff and volunteer coordination
Team Success Enterprises: moving services for clients working toward stability
Treasure Coast Food Bank: connecting residents to benefits they qualify for but are not receiving
Tykes and Teens: mental health outreach hubs across the county
Dynamic Life Inc. and New Port Club of Vero Beach received Merit Awards.
More than 200 members and guests attended the event. Vero Beach High School Digital Video students provided videography, and the school’s jazz ensemble performed at the reception, giving students practical experience while documenting the evening.
Impact 100 Indian River is currently led by President Peg Regan, who also serves as Managing Partner of Regan Advisory Services and has a professional background in strategic business advisory work. She heads the organization’s volunteer board and leadership team responsible for the grant review and member engagement process.
Membership is open to all women in Indian River County. More information is available at impact100ir.com.
