The local Habitat for Humanity chapter and the Daniel Pitino Shelter were each awarded a $100,000 grant Thursday night by Impact100 Owensboro. Sleep in Heavenly Peace and Dream Riders of Kentucky each received a $27,5000 residual grant, while Aubrey’s Song Foundation received the $9,200 NextGen grant.
The grant winners were announced during a ceremony at the Bluegrass Music Hall of Fame & Museum.
“Tonight, we are not only changing the trajectory of four local nonprofits, but we are also catapulting the changes our community needs to enhance the quality of life of everyone who works and lives here,” said Impact100 President Jodi Krahwinkel. “In 17 years, the women around you have sacrificed to donate to Impact100 and in turn have generated over $3.8 million dollars in philanthropy and economic development. That is progress for everyone.”
The 2023 Impact100 membership campaign is already in full swing for anyone that would like to be involved. All that is required is that you be a woman and donate $1,000 or $500 to be a member. Interested individuals may become a member online through the Impact100 website at impact100owensboro.org.
