About Impact 100 Grants
Current Grant Cycle
Impact 100 Ozark is pleased to announce that applications for this year’s grants will open on April 15, 2025. We are looking for organizations with projects that will make a significant IMPACT in our community.
Impact 100 Ozark’s mission is to empower women to dramatically improve the lives in their community by harnessing the power of generosity and funding significant grants that have a lasting impact in eastern Christian County.
Impact 100 Ozark is seeking to offer transformational grants to organizations that can use the money to accomplish something BIG. We encourage you to REACH BIG – THINK BIG – THINK IMPACTFUL. Impact 100 Ozark will be issuing two grants in September. One for $10,000 and one for $40,000. These grants will be awarded to local non-profits by a vote of our membership. Grant applications should NOT include funds for day-to-day operations, scholarships, or to start a new non-profit organization.
Questions regarding the grant application can also be emailed to the Impact 100 Ozark grant committee at grants.impact.ozark@gmail.com.

General Grant Information
Impact 100 Ozark’s mission is to empower women to dramatically improve the lives in their community by harnessing the power of generosity and funding significant grants that have a lasting impact in eastern Christian County.
In early Spring the board sets the grant amounts after determining the available funds. The grant committee will then set the grant calendar. Applications are online at www.cfozarks.org and are usually due around mid-June. The grant committee will review the applications and select the finalists for the entire membership to vote on. At our BIG event – the Thursday following Labor Day – the finalists will present their need to the entire membership, Shark Tank style – with no aids and in a 5-minute time limit. The membership votes and grants are awarded that night.
