President’s Message
Impact 100 continues to strengthen its membership and support of the
Greater Cincinnati & Northern Kentucky Non-Profit community. Strategic
emphasis was placed on Member Engagement; through the addition of a
Member Ambassador program, New Member Orientation/Social, member
surveys, member spotlights in the newsletter, recognition of members
who recruited new members, and member tenure. As a result of these
efforts, we saw member retention increase.
To enhance our support of and focus on the Non-Profit community, the
Non-Profit Outreach Coordinator position was added to the Board. This
position allows stronger, more streamlined communications to the
agencies before, during and after the grant cycle. We are always grateful that our Non-Profit Recipient
partners are so willing to speak to our members at every event that we have, which helps to tie back
the Impact 100 mission directly to our members. We have seen our Non Profit database continue to
expand as “word gets out” about Impact 100 and the integrity of our process.
In 2009, two grants of $103,000 each were awarded to Lighthouse Youth Services and The Economic
Center for Research & Education. Lighthouse Youth Services was able to expand the hours and

medical services available at The Anthony House – a nurturing facility where homeless teens could take
a shower, do laundry, check the internet, and have an address, which provides a sense of dignity in a
difficult life. Lighthouse saw a tremendous increase – over 50% – in the number of visits the teens
made to Anthony House once the hours were expanded.
The Economic Center was able to expand its basic financial education model – the STEP program - to
over 200 students in five different schools. Through this programming, elementary students were able
to better understand basic financial concepts of earning, saving, compounding interest, investment and
helping others.
In 2010, $218,000 was awarded in the form of two $109,000 grants to Starfire University, and Dress for
Success Cincinnati. Starfire was able to provide 2 years of independent living programming to disabled
young adults. Dress for Success purchased a van to create a mobile suiting unit to take services and
clothes to outlying counties in the Greater Cincinnati area, reaching clients that were unable to make it
to their Downtown offices.
Impact 100 Cincinnati continues to help others who are interested in starting an Impact 100 Chapter in
other cities. In 2010, Impact 100 Cincinnati was instrumental in helping Impact 100 Chicago get off

the ground, and award its first grant in summer 2011. Sharing best practices is a consistent and
important strategy as Impact 100 Cincinnati continues to grow, improve, expand. Impact conferences
in Pensacola, Florida and Indianapolis were extremely helpful, providing new ideas – both long and
short term, which were brought back to the board and became action items. Additionally,
participation in monthly conference calls with over 20 other women’s giving circles across the country,
are another example of the Board’s desire to learn, grow and continuously improve.
“Mission moments” are so important to our Board, our members and our Non Profit partners. We are
fortunate to experience these mission moments quite frequently - as we see the Dress for Success van
driving around, as we bring our previous recipients back to engage our members, as we meet fellow
Impact 100 members in our workplaces, neighborhoods, social circles, and as we continue to see the
investments that our members have made in our community.

2009 Grant Recipients
Economics Center for Education & Research
Economics Center for Education & Research builds a more vibrant community
by inspiring students to appreciate and use their economic freedom and
opportunities. They accomplish this by empowering teachers to use practical,
innovative and relevant ways of teaching a curriculum that gives students life
skills in the area of financial education. With the Impact 100 grant, StEP
expanded to five new schools, reaching approximately 1,000 more
students. The program teaches students to make wise choices and celebrate
the consequences of those choices. It also provides the opportunity for
students to develop classroom businesses.
Lighthouse Youth Services, Inc.
With its Impact 100 grant, Lighthouse Youth Services, Inc. increased the hours
of operation of the Anthony House Project from 10 hours a week to 25 hours
a week. This project serves homeless youth of ages 18-24 and provides a place
to drop in, obtain a meal, clothing and blankets, wash their clothes, take a
shower, and to use a computer and telephone. Through the Anthony House
Project, the young men and women have access to a registered nurse to
address health issues and an outreach worker who encourages them to
develop a treatment plan for recovery and help facilitates the movement to
transitional housing.

2010 Grant Recipients
Starfire Council of Greater Cincinnati, Inc.
Starfire’s mission is to “enrich the lives of teens and adults with
developmental disabilities through unlimited opportunities that build
independence and community inclusion.” Starfire U is a seminar curriculum
that is coupled with clients having an opportunity to be involved in daily
community experiences, which provides practice for real life settings. The
model is particularly effective in increasing social confidence, personal
responsibility, self-awareness, employability and independence of its clients.
The Impact 100 grant provides instructors and staffing resources for the next
two incoming Starfire U classes as well as maximizes their future capacity.
Dress for Success Cincinnati (DfSC)
With the grant money from Impact 100, DfSC launched an outreach program
with a Mobile Suiting Unit van that expanded its ability to serve women who
have difficulty reaching the downtown location. In addition to providing the
van, the grant helped provide interview appropriate attire for women, gave
them the tools they need to understand written and unwritten rules of the
workplace, helped develop financial literacy skills and provided support
services that are critical in helping women retain employment. Through the
grant, DfSC expanded its services to outlying areas of Greater Cincinnati as
well as counties in Northern Kentucky. In addition, DfSC increased their
visibility and attracted more donations and volunteers. They used the van to
pick up donations they believe are currently “lost” because of the
inconvenience of transporting a donation downtown.

Thank You!
Every dollar of the $1000 annual membership dues donated by its members goes
into Impact 100’s grant account and is donated back to the community non-profits
in the form of $100,000+ grants at the end of each year. Consequently, Impact 100
must raise separate funds to pay its operational costs.
