NEWS RELEASE

Over the course of three months, thirty interviews were filmed and the full impact of the Impact 100 grants over the last eight years became real. This video project was an intimate discussion with people in the community who directly benefited because a grant was given to one of the Impact 100 community partners.

Real people shared real stories of how their lives were changed. Watch the videos and see and hear how lives were transformed, health restored and most of all how our member donations of $1000 each and their one vote has transformed the community we live in.

The Impact of Impact 100 officially launched at the kickoff breakfast on November 9th with a live fireside chat with Noe Chico and Barbara Ellison sharing their stories. Now Impact 100 is releasing the video series so everyone can see the impact close to $3 million in grants has had in Indian River County over the last eight years.
