A women's collective giving organization engaging women in philanthropy to award high-impact grants to Westchester nonprofits.
Impact100 Westchester Inc. uses pooled member giving to make large transformational grants to Westchester nonprofits, with recent awards reaching $85,000 and $80,000 for organizations serving local communities. The foundation’s grantmaking is built around a women’s collective giving model, and its main program supports new programs, expansion of existing programs, and capital projects that are intended to be transformational for the organization or the people it serves. Recent awards show a consistent emphasis on organizations tied to direct community benefit. Hearts & Homes for Refugees in Pelham received an $85,000 Transformational Project Grant in 2024, while The Bridge Fund of NY & Westchester in New York, NY received the same amount in 2025. Other major recipients include New York School for the Deaf in White Plains and The Port Chester Carver Center in Port Chester, each awarded $85,000. The foundation also makes Core Mission Grants, which are unrestricted awards used as the recipient sees fit and can provide operating or program support alongside the larger transformational awards.
Community development is a visible thread in the grant record. The Port Chester Carver Center received $85,000 in 2025 through the Transformational Project Grant program, and Caritas of Port Chester received $80,000 in 2023 for the same grant type. Education also appears in the recent awards. New York School for the Deaf in White Plains received $85,000 in 2024, and Child Care Council of Westchester in Scarsdale received a $29,000 Core Mission Grant in 2023. The foundation also supports human services and capacity-building needs. United Way of Westchester & Putnam in White Plains received a $27,000 Core Mission Grant in 2025, while Human Development Services of Westchester in Mamaroneck received $27,000 in 2024. In mental health-related work, The Sharing Shelf in Port Chester received $80,000 in 2023.
Typical awards cluster around two levels: a median grant size of $29,000, with a p25 of $29,000 and a p75 of $80,000. At the top end, the Transformational Project Grant program ranges from $75,000 to $100,000, while Core Mission Grants fall in the $20,000–$30,000 range and Site Visit Awards are smaller unrestricted awards of $1,500–$3,000. The foundation is a public charity and gives locally rather than nationally. The recent list shows repeat use of the same grant structures across 2023, 2024, and 2025, including multiple Transformational Project Grants and multiple Core Mission Grants.
