Impact100 Global Conference 2025 Calls for Community Support

Miramar Beach, Fla. – The 2025 Impact100 Global Conference will take place October 26-28 at the stunning Hilton Sandestin Beach Golf Resort & Spa. Hosted by Impact100 Global in collaboration with five local chapters - Impact100 NWF, Mobile, Pensacola Bay Area, Baldwin County, and Gulf Coast - this biennial event is a celebration of collective giving and a powerful reflection of the strength and unity of the Impact100 community.

Impact100 is a global movement of local philanthropists who unite to find and fund local nonprofits addressing their community’s most pressing problems. The model is simple but powerful: At least 100 women come together and donate $1,000 each, pooling their resources to fund grants of $100,000 or more that will support nonprofits in their local community.

Since its founding in 2001, Impact100 has expanded to more than 75 chapters across four countries, delivering nearly $160 million in grants—with continued growth each year. In 2024 alone, the five host chapters awarded $2.3 million in high-impact grants to local nonprofits along the Gulf Coast.

This year’s conference theme, “Tides of Impact100: Renew, Recharge, and Rise,” sets the tone for three days of insight, inspiration, and impact. Attendees will enjoy engaging sessions led by dynamic speakers including two-time Olympic gold medalist Ruthie Bolton, retired Major General Jeanne Leavitt, and Impact100 Founder Wendy Steele. The conference offers inspirational programming, hands-on leadership development, and meaningful connection opportunities- all designed to amplify the power of collective philanthropy. More than 250 changemakers are expected to attend, traveling from across the United States and as far away as Australia.

“Attendees from Impact100 communities around the globe will come together at the Impact100 Global Conference eager to learn, connect, and be inspired,” says Wendy Steele, Founder of Impact100. “The beautiful Sandestin setting will be a draw not only for those nearby, but also for those traveling from the far corners of our philanthropic movement.”

To ensure the success of this landmark event, Impact100 Global is seeking sponsors from the local community and beyond. Sponsorship opportunities are available at various levels, offering businesses and individuals the chance to gain exceptional visibility among a global network of philanthropists - while aligning with a mission that empowers women to transform lives and communities.

This inspiring event is open to the public. Registration is now open and discounted room rates are available for attendees until September 26th, 2025. For more information on sponsorship opportunities or to register for the conference, please visit www.impact100global.com.
