President's Letter
Just before taking a well-deserved summer break, we welcome five
talented Impact100 Sonoma members to our board, all with experience
on grant review committees. These women are replacing eight
dedicated board members who have shown an unwavering
commitment to our organization during their terms. I want to thank all
of these retiring members for their service, particularly Celia Canfield,
our out-going co-president, who has patiently shown me the ropes this
past year, preparing me to follow in her footsteps.
Quick Calendar
The entire Impact100 Sonoma Board is very grateful for the
participation of so many of you who volunteered your time and
expertise on committees this year. You have welcomed new members,
helped plan and staff events, written articles for the newsletter, and
participated in reviewing grant proposals and leading site visits. Our
many accomplishments this year were made possible by your
involvement, and I thank you.

New Changes to the Impact100
Sonoma Grant Program for 2017
3 of 8
7/21/16 8:01 PM
At the January 2014 Membership Envisioning meeting, Impact100
Sonoma members shared their ideas on where our grant-making
process could improve. The Grants Envisioning Committee took these
ideas, along with feedback from local nonprofits, and provided input to
the Board. The result is outlined in the following changes to our 2017
grant program for the coming grant cycle:
Extend the grant term for the $100,000 Impact Grant from a
maximum of two years to three years. Organizations will set a
customized timeline for their proposals for up to three years.
All Impact Grant finalists will receive an unrestricted merit grant
of $10,000 to be used by the nonprofit in any manner that
supports their operations.
Increase the maximum amount for a Community Grant from
$15,000 to $20,000.
Community Grant applicants will now be able to apply for the
exact amount they need up to $20,000. In past years, we asked
organizations for proposals of $5,000, $10,000 or $15,000.

As sad as it is to lose the leadership and knowledge of these
experienced women, we are truly excited to welcome five new board
members (from left to right): Claudia Sims, Impact Grant Chair; Susan
Porth, Treasurer; Cam McKinley, Assistant Communications; Judith
Walsh, Governance; and Margaret Grandy, Community Grants Chair

We also have a few board members whose roles are changing for the

Management & Technology, Diana Sanson will take on the role of
Grants Oversight Chair, and Liz Tunney Williams will fill the role of
Secretary.

10,000 Degrees Regional Director, Sonoma County, Lisa Carreño
and Wendy Hoffman were interviewed on the KSVY Morning Show
Wendy Hoffman was interviewed along with Lisa Carreño, 10,000
Degrees Regional Director for Sonoma County, on the KSVY Morning
Show by Leslie Tippell. Wendy covered Impact100 Sonoma's 2016
grant review process, the 11 grant recipients, and the organization's
critical role in Sonoma Valley in supporting nonprofits. Then Lisa
described potential obstacles faced and strategies used to educate
both parents and children in how to access resources to make college
more accessible and affordable with financial aid and scholarships.
Through this year's Impact Grant, 10,000 Degrees will be expanding
their programs at Sonoma Valley High School and into Hanna Boys
Center. An unexpected impact this grant will have is that 10,000
Degrees will also be able to reach out to middle school students and
parents to help them understand what a college path looks like early
on, preparing them with the right information to make better choices in
