  • How Much Does It Cost To Join?

    Annual memberships are $1,150 (Core Member) or $1,500 (Woman of Impact) or $575 per First Impact Member (age 40 and under). $1,000 ($500 First Impact Member) of each annual membership donation goes toward the grants given away each year. Administrative costs are covered through the additional money, fundraising events and through donations from members and Friends of Impact Oklahoma.


    Lifetime Impact Memberships are available for $25,000.

  • How Do I Serve On The Grant Review Committee?

    Contact the Grant Chair (grants@impactok.org) to let her know you are interested so she can obtain your contact information and provide you with the dates and details for the activities related to the grant process.

  • Do I Have To Pay All At Once?

    No, we offer monthly payment plans. You can send a monthly check, or we can charge your credit card each month. 

  • I’m On A Board Of Another Nonprofit, Can I Still Review Grants?

    Yes, but we require board members, employees, and advisors of nonprofits applying for an Impact Oklahoma grant to abstain from deliberation in the focus area under which your nonprofit applied.


    All grant committee members sign a Conflict of Interest Form agreeing you will not serve in the focus area if you were on the Board of Directors, were an advisor, held an office or similar position, were employed or have an immediate family member employed by the nonprofit either currently, or in the past 12 months.

  • Is My Membership Tax Deductible?

    Yes, your membership donation is tax deductible. You will receive an emailed letter indicating your tax deductible donation was received. If you are paying incrementally, a letter will be provided at the end of the year documenting the amount received during that year.

  • I’m Not A Woman, Can I Be A Member?

    While only women can become members, we offer opportunities for men and businesses to support Impact Oklahoma. You can sponsor a woman’s membership to Impact Oklahoma, or you can become a Friend of Impact Oklahoma with a contribution toward administrative costs.

  • I’m A Nonprofit – How Do I Apply For A $100,000 Grant?

    First, read through our Grant page on this website to learn if you are eligible and follow the instructions set forth there. Feel free to contact our Grants Chair at grants@impactok.org.

  • If I’m Not Able To Attend The Annual Meeting, Can I Still Vote On Who Gets The Grants?

    Yes, absolutely! About a month prior to the annual meeting members will receive an invitation to the event with an RSVP and ballot card.


    If you are unable to attend we ask that you read the description of each of the finalists’ proposed projects on the website, and then use your  ballot card to rank the nonprofits for the grants. The ballot can be mailed or returned to the Impact Oklahoma office.
