Impact 100 Grant Announcement Thursday

IMPACT 100 of Owensboro, a women's philanthropic organization which has donated $1.24 million in six years to non-profit projects in the Owensboro area, will be announcing the results of their 2012 membership drive, Thursday, April 26, 7:00 p.m. at U.S. Bank, 4801 Frederica Street.

This membership number is important each year because it becomes the amount of funds available for awarding significant Impact grants in the community.

The event will include remarks by Fred May, U.S. Bank President, Joy Allen, Impact 100 2012 President and founders Martha Clark and Marianne Smith-Edge.

Pat Jones, grants chair, will be announcing the schedule for focus group meetings to determine finalists in the grant competition.

The event will culminate with the "reveal" of total dollars available for 2012 projects in our community by Jean Yewell, membership chair, and a toast to 2012 members of the organization who make these grants possible each year
