2023 FINALIST & SEMI-FINALIST WISH LISTS

At Impact 100 Jersey Coast, our impact extends well beyond the grants as we connect philanthropic women with worthy causes with the aim that they can actively support them, and get involved. 

We had another group of incredible applicants this year, nonprofits working hard every day to improve lives in the community that we share. If you would like to support them by donating an item from their wish list, or volunteering, please reach out directly. 

Every nonprofit on this list has received a site visit from our Focus Area Committee (FAC) members and undergone a vigorous vetting process.

Thank you for your support!
