Impact Sponsored Membership
2026 Impact Sponsored Applications are now open!
We are committed to ensuring our giving circle is inclusive and accessible. To that end, our Impact Sponsorship (formerly called scholarship) opportunity is now open and ready to receive applications.
We are able to offer a limited number of full or partial sponsorships to women interested in becoming members for the upcoming membership year.
Applications for the 2026 membership cycle must be received by March 1, 2026 to be eligible to participate in the 2026 grant cycle.
All applicants will be notified of their status by mid-March 2026.
Do you want to have an impact on your community but hesitate because of the financial commitment?
Although the intent of Impact 100 Jersey Coast is to attract members who will give $1,100 each year to fund our grants and operations, we also seek members who will contribute their time and talents to the organization but currently lack the funds to join. With that in mind, we intend to offer a limited number of full or partial sponsorships to prospective members each year.
Duration:
Sponsorships are for one year (typically April 1 through March 31).
Eligibility:
Applicants must be at least 21 years old. Previous sponsorship applicants are eligible to reapply. Past sponsorship recipients are eligible to reapply for a partial ($550) sponsorship. Past members of Impact 100 may also apply. Sponsorships are reserved for women who lack the funds to join Impact so we ask that candidates carefully evaluate their finances and needs before applying for an Impact sponsorship.
Application & Review Process:
At any point during the process, you might be contacted via email or phone by a member of the Sponsorships Committee.
Please contact membership@impact100jc.org if you have any questions.
REQUIREMENTS
This membership is conferred with all the same rights and privileges as any Impact membership.
Impact is a 100% volunteer-run organization. We rely on the energy and talents of a diverse group of committed women and welcome all members to get involved in any capacity that best suits their time and interests.
Sponsorship recipients are expected to participate in one or more volunteer activities.
CONFIDENTIALITY
The Impact Sponsorship Committee maintains the privacy and confidentiality of all sponsorship applicants and recipients. We believe it’s necessary to ensure all recipients receive equal treatment and consideration as their Impact peers. Therefore we kindly ask that all applicants and recipients keep their sponsorship status private and confidential.
