Celebrating a Decade and a Half of Collective Giving: Impact 100 Palm Beach County's 15th Anniversary

A Milestone in Philanthropy: 15 Years of Collective Impact

Impact 100 Palm Beach County invites members and prospective members to a festive celebration on October 14, 2025, at The Addison in Boca Raton, from 5:30 to 8:00 p.m. This special occasion not only launches the 2025-2026 Giving Year but also marks a significant milestone: the 15th anniversary of the organization's commitment to transforming philanthropy through collective giving. This approach has proven to be a powerful catalyst for community change, demonstrating that when individuals come together, their combined efforts can yield greater results than any could achieve alone.

Empowering Local Nonprofits through Collective Giving

"At Impact 100 PBC, we believe philanthropy is stronger together," states Janean Mileusnic, President of Impact 100 Palm Beach County. This belief is at the core of the organization's mission, where each membership contributes $1,000 to the grant pool, amplifying the potential impact on local nonprofits. The focus areas for these transformative grants include education, arts, health, family, and the environment, ensuring a broad spectrum of community needs are addressed. The upcoming event promises to be an inspiring evening, featuring cocktails, hors d'oeuvres, networking opportunities, and a program highlighting the achievements of past grantees and the vision for the future.

The Journey So Far

Since its inception, Impact 100 Palm Beach County has been a beacon of hope and change, awarding millions of dollars in grants to deserving nonprofits. These grants, including 73 high-impact $100,000 grants and 51 merit grants, have created lasting, tangible changes within the community. The organization's commitment to collective giving has mobilized an impressive $7.7 million in investments over the past 14 years, touching lives and strengthening the fabric of South Palm Beach County. The 15th-anniversary celebration is not just a reflection of past successes but a launchpad for future endeavors, aiming to make the milestone year the most transformative yet.
