Today's 5-Star Guest is Impact100 Founder & CEO Wendy Steele. Impact100 was founded by Wendy Steele in 2001 in response to feeling as though women’s roles in philanthropy needed a new way to be expanded and encouraged. Wendy launched the organization with the goal of empowering women to see themselves as activists through utilizing large grants to make an impact within their communities.By 2002, Impact100 received nonprofit status and donated its first grant of $123,000. In 2003, People Magazine published a story about Impact100, and Wendy’s idea quickly began to spread.Today, her model has been replicated in cities all over the world and only continues to grow.Connect With Impact100:  https://impact100global.org/Email Wendy: Wendy@impact100global.org Call Wendy: 231-632-3588 Get on our waiting list for our new nonprofit & fundraising community filled with on-demand courses and live webinars that are exclusive to members!
