Community Endeavor
As the founder of Impact Grantmaking, I have embraced the mission of my work with joy and anticipation. The entity has been a continuous opportunity for growth, both professionally and personally. Every connection and presentation made was well-received and brought forth confirmation that the potential to solve problems through a website is relevant to our times.
Impact Grantmaking is a "community hub" designed to inform individuals of where help is needed. Since it is organic in its nature, it will continue to expand and evolve. So, for the next phase of Impact, I am giving the business to a person in the community who is gifted in ways beyond my skill-level and who has developed some engaging and creative ideas that will enhance its foundation. That person is Andria Peterson of Grant Matrix. She will take Impact on its next journey and I hope you will take the journey with her and help make Impact Grantmaking "your community hub," where project needs and fundraising events may be viewed and supported.
Going forward, I'll still be involved in Impact Grantmaking, but I'll be shifting to a more supportive role, helping Andria in her endeavor to create a better future for our communities.
Please join us!
Best wishes,
Jennifer

At Grant Matrix, we consider it a privilege and honor to be the BEST, web-based hub for donors and nonprofits to visit and interact for the good of our communities. Jennifer and I have been working together for several months and have known each other for years. We believe Impact is stronger now than ever due to our collaborative relationship and we thank you for your continued support. Now, it's time for you and I to get acquainted, too. If we don't already know each other, please, pick up the phone and call me. If you are associated with a nonprofit - I'm on your team. It's called "Team More Funding for Great Causes"!
