Impact San Antonio Foundation, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) foundation
committed to expanding philanthropy in San Antonio by empowering women as both donors and decision-makers. Impact San Antonio's concept is simple: recruit as many members as possible who each donate $1,000 a year and pool that money to make an annual grant to a worthy San Antonio area nonprofit organization. Impact San Antonio is completely staffed by volunteers and is committed to keeping all expenses to a minimum. Every dollar donated by the members is passed on directly in the grant. Any administrative or fundraising expenses will be covered by interest earned on the collective fund and corporate and "friends" donations. |

It was a challenging decision as we had five quality grants to consider. 2008 Impact Finalist: St. Jude's Ranch in the Health and Wellness category won the $100,000. It will be used to move their transitional living program to San Antonio. It will allow 12 teenagers to be better prepared with life skills as they complete school and go to work. www.stjudesranch.org 2008/Other Grant Finalists The members of Impact San Antonio awarded each of the four finalists a check for $1,250 for operating funds.
