On June 5, 2020, Impact100 Metro Detroit awarded two nonprofit heroes grants of $100,00 each. Both The Lawn Academy and Micah 6 Community will now be able to bring to fruition projects that will fuel transformation in their communities. Both groups were beyond thrilled when our "Prize Patrols" arrived at their doorsteps carrying balloons and very large checks. We know that you, our members, made these amazing moments possible through both your contributions and your votes. And in addition to nearly all of our 200 members, more than 250 others from throughout the metro Detroit area joined us on a giant Zoom meeting for the big announcement. We have never had a larger or more enthusiastic group of supporters. We hope that the joy we all felt watching Micah 6 and the Lawn Academy receive their checks will translate into a deluge of new and renewed memberships. Together we can truly make a difference!
HERE is our Big Give video. It will make you smile (again)!

A Message from Amy
Dear Members,
I am both proud and grateful to be a part of Impact100 Metro Detroit, and I hope all you feel the same way. We have accomplished so much over the past few months, and it took all 200 of us to get us there, whether we were planners, workers, or voters. This month, the Board of Directors is meeting to create a strategic plan for 2021 that will help us achieve our big goal : 300 members and three $100,000 grant awards. As we work toward this end, we invite all of our members to reflect on their experience in 2020, and share any feedback or ideas you might have.Click

What Does Transformation
Look Like?

The Downtown Boxing Gym was awarded our Impact100 Metro Detroit grant in 2017. Since then, they've gone on to receive several other grants and win awards for their groundbreaking work with kids. The project we funded back in 2017, a literacy program they call Books Before Boxing, has helped many kids, and new grants have helped expand what we got started.
