About Impact100 Melbourne

Impact100 Melbourne disrupts traditional notions of donating to charities providing an opportunity for corporates and individuals to step into the role of changemakers in a city full of clever and transformative ideas.

As a sub-fund of Greater Melbourne Foundation, our goal is to bring together over 100 diverse and community-minded people to combine their donations for impactful grants to local organisations, to contribute to a brighter future for Greater Melbourne. Join us in investing in our local community.

Impact100 Melbourne is one of thousands of active giving groups globally, they represent a growing movement in collective philanthropy. This model unites individuals with shared values to create positive change in their communities. By pooling donations of $1,000 or more, giving groups have the power to amplify individual impact. Beyond financial support, giving groups offer the unique opportunity to engage with organisations and projects, providing a hands-on approach to donating.

• Celebration: Achievements are celebrated with partners and the broader community, recognising collective efforts and partners’ successes, challenges and efforts.
