Impact 100 is an initiative by the United Way of Greater Kansas City aimed at supporting nonprofit organizations that address the most critical health and human service needs in the region. Organizations selected for the Impact 100 must meet high standards of accountability in terms of financial management, governance, and measurable community impact. The program focuses on fostering long-term, positive change by investing in a diverse network of organizations that operate across different human service domains, geographic areas, and populations.
The Community Investment Advisory Council, under the United Way, reviews every application for Impact 100 funding to ensure that the nonprofits selected are well-positioned to make a significant difference in the community. These nonprofits are diverse, ranging from those addressing basic health services to those focused on more comprehensive human service initiatives.
