Membership

Young Philanthropist Grant Program

About the Program

In an effort to encourage the next generation of women philanthropists, in 2018 Impact Las Vegas will be providing two Membership scholarship grants for young women to experience the power of collective giving.   This program specifically targets women who have an interest in philanthropy and in joining Impact Las Vegas but who might initially struggle to fund a new Membership on their own.

This program grants a Membership donation scholarship over a four-year period, requiring the scholarship recipient to pay a portion of the Membership donation each year and to pay the full amount of the Membership donation in the fourth year of the grant.  This sliding scale of dues invites the young philanthropist to budget over time and embed the philosophy of giving into their lives.

  • Be a woman at least 21 years of age and under 36 years of age as of June 30, 2018
  • Express an interest in philanthropy
  • Commit to a four-year Membership cycle, agreeing to renew her Membership each of the following three years
  • Be willing to contribute monies on a sliding scale towards her Membership in each of the four years.  The contribution requirement is as follows:
