Sponsored Membership
ABOUT SPONSORED MEMBERSHIP
In an effort to broaden the perspective at the table of our Grant Review Committees and the organization as a whole, Impact Central Illinois (ICI) offers sponsored membership positions to women that might otherwise not be able to join.
- Sponsored Members are women with varying experience, age, ethnicity, economic, and professional backgrounds.
- Sponsored members offer incredible value to ICI and receive the full benefits of membership.
BENEFITS OF MEMBERSHIP
Events (3) to meet current and prospective members.
Participating in the grant selection process offers ICI members the opportunity to review grant applications, ask questions, and visit potential partners to see how our dollars would make a difference. Sitting at the table; learning in detail about the greatest needs in our community; and having input on the specific program and/or project being applied for by the nonprofits is a tremendous learning experience.
Having input and a vote on where over $300,000 goes to help better the community.
Developing meaningful relationships built on working alongside other Central Illinois women striving to impact our community positively.
The membership fee of $1,100 is fully waived.
