Making an impact

This is Paul Janensch with a Treasure Coast Essay about Impact 100.  A hundred thousand dollars here, a hundred thousand dollars there make an impact each year on Indian River County’s human services.  Impact 100 consists of about 450 women.  Each contributes $1,000 annually.  Nonprofits apply for grants of $100,000.  Earlier this year, seven finalists made presentations to Impact 100.  Members voted for four in official voting booths.  The winners were:  the Medical Society Foundation, Literacy Services, Senior Resource Association and Visiting Nurse Association.  For example, the Medical Society Foundation will use its $100,000 to help set up a health clinic in Gifford, staffed by volunteer physicians.  See what I mean about making an impact?  I’m Paul Janensch.
