Impact 100 Perry County is a philanthropic organization formed in December 2016 by a small group of women who aimed to bring transformational grantmaking to Perry County, Missouri. The group adopted a model initially developed in Cincinnati, Ohio, by philanthropist Wendy Steele. This model emphasizes collective giving, particularly among women, encapsulated by the tagline “The Power of Women Giving as One.” By pooling individual donations—such as $500 contributions—the group seeks to provide meaningful financial support to local nonprofit entities. The organization has since grown into a credible funder in the region, focusing on impactful local projects. For the fiscal year 2026, Impact 100 Perry County will offer one lump-sum grant of $22,500 to a single nonprofit, school, or government organization. The grant aims to support a community-serving project that can effectively utilize the full amount to generate meaningful outcomes. Proposals should detail how the funds will benefit the Perry County community and demonstrate the organization’s capacity to manage the award effectively. There are no specified limitations on the type of project, but proposals must align with the organization’s mission of community enhancement through collective giving. Only organizations that are classified as 501(c)(3) nonprofits, public schools, or government entities are eligible to apply. The organization emphasizes non-discrimination in both grantmaking and the use of grant funds. Discrimination based on race, color, sex, religion, national origin, age, ability, sexual orientation, gender identity, or veteran status is strictly prohibited. Applicants must also ensure that their internal employment and service access policies align with these values. Applications must be submitted via an online platform that includes character limits on all response fields—letters, numbers, spaces, and punctuation are all counted. The final submission deadline for applications is 11:45 p.m. on September 2, 2025. The winning grant will be announced during Impact 100 Perry County’s annual meeting, scheduled for the Fall of 2025. Applicants are encouraged to begin preparing early and to pay close attention to technical requirements. Applicants with questions about the application process can contact Tracey Hagan at (573) 768-5676. For any technical issues with the application platform, support is available through Latesa Carter at (417) 864-6199. While email contacts were not provided, phone support is explicitly available for both procedural and technical inquiries. No specific evaluation rubric or scoring criteria have been provided, but applicants are expected to thoroughly describe their project, how the $22,500 grant will be utilized, and the anticipated impact on the Perry County community. As only one grant will be awarded, competitive proposals will need to be clear, complete, and compelling in articulating both need and projected outcomes.
