Impact San Antonio Foundation, Inc. is a 501(c)(3)
nonprofit
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. |
