Impact100 Sydney

Impact100 Sydney is a Sub-fund of Sydney Comuniity Foundation. We make big grants to small charities to make a real difference in Sydney.

Impact100 Sydney is a sub-fund of Sydney Community Foundation. As part of one of the fastest growing movements in philanthropy worldwide, Impact100 Sydney brings together at least 100 members who donate $1, 000 or more annually. Donations are pooled to make a high impact grant of $100, 000 to a local charity to fund a significant project with real and measurable outcomes.

Impact100 Sydney gives members an opportunity to experience philanthropy. We offer accessible & inclusive philanthropy by engaging and enriching groups of community-minded people who want to give.

Each year members choose which project to fund from a short list of well-researched projects with outstanding prospects for making a significant and new impact on the Sydney community. In 2016, Impact100 Sydney will support a project focused on making a positive difference to the lives of Sydney’s young people at risk.

We believe that all Sydney-siders should have access to opportunity. We know that this isn’t the case - that one in six young Australians is living in poverty and that youth unemployment is on the rise. Coupled with a range of social problems such as intergenerational poverty, youth suicide, disability, drug and alcohol abuse, and domestic violence – the needs of Sydney’s young people are both broad and complex.
