Hitting the Ground Running!
Over the summer months, Impact 100 London have been reflecting on all that we have achieved together and looking forward to celebrating their 5th birthday in 2025!
Impact 100 London, not only have deployed £900,000 to 18 fantastic local women and girls charities but they have also been able to leverage the talents, time and resources of their members and partners for the benefit of their grantees. Charities often say that those connections and support are in fact one of the biggest benefits of being part of the Impact 100 London family.
Now is the time to join or renew your membership for the 2025 cycle. Impact 100 London are powered by their members, they are the heart and soul of the foundation. Over 314 people have joined us since inception in 2020. Join today and help us hit our goal of 150 members by our launch on 1 October!

Impact 100 London in the Community
Once again, several of our members participated on the Big Give Women & Girls Match Fund Awards Panel over the summer. The group collectively reviewed 200+ charity applications and gave feedback via a review panel discussion with Big Give in August (providing well over 60 hours of pro bono services). Big Give’s overall raise of matched funds is £1.2mln (vs. 635k last time ‘round) so a much larger fundraising event this year. The fund will be launched on 10 October to coincide with International Day of the Girl.
Of our grantees – Action Breaks Silence, BayTree Centre, Birth Companions, Centre for Women’s Justice, Rights of Women, Surviving Economic Abuse, Tender, The Girls Network, Women @ The Well, Women for Refugee Women and Working Chance – will all be participating in the campaign.
