100% of each member’s donation is given directly to the selected charity. Although no time commitment is required, we know members feel more connected when they get involved by joining a grant application review committee, participating in our Days of Service, and joining in social events. And, as a member, you will be invited to the annual meeting each fall where finalists will present their project, and members vote on the grant recipient. The best part? Votes will be tallied and winners will be announced during the meeting. You get to see the impact you are helping to make right then and there!
We know the $1000 donation toward the transformational grant is a “stop and think” decision. For many of our members, $1,000 represents sacrifice and intentional budgeting to make a charitable gift of this size. This is by design. The goal is that each member feels connected to their giving and to the transformational grants that are a result of their gifts. We offer the ability to have a payment plan to pay over the course of the year, instead of in a lump sum.

Click on the links below to complete your membership form and pay your annual contribution. All contributions are tax-deductible to the fullest extent of the law. One-hundred percent of each $1,000 donation goes to a community nonprofit each year.
We rely almost fully on the extra donations of 10% or more by those who join as a Member-Plus to defray critical operating expenses. Please consider adding that additional amount to your membership contribution.
For your convenience, we offer multiple ways to join – e-Check, Credit Card, Paper Check or by Installment.
To keep costs low, we charge an additional $30 for Credit Card payments to cover the processing fees.
Reach out to treasurer@impact100greaterchesapeake.org if you would like to set up a custom payment plan (ex. $100 monthly)
