Open for 2027 — apply by November 16, 2026. Impact100 DC awards $100,000 high-impact grants to qualifying nonprofit organizations located in and serving the Washington, DC metropolitan region. The funder’s published key dates confirm November 16 but do not specify an exact closing time or time zone; check the live application portal for final submission timing.
Individual applicant grant: exactly $100,000. Applications must demonstrate how they will use the full $100,000 and cannot request a smaller amount. Proposals must cover 12–24 months, and funds are generally disbursed in installments rather than all at once. The funder does not publish a universal matching-contribution requirement or a fixed number of 2027 awards. This is applicant financial assistance, not procurement.
Eligibility: applicants must be 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations, including eligible local chapters of national nonprofits, both located in and serving residents of Washington, DC; Maryland’s Montgomery or Prince George’s counties; Virginia’s Arlington or Fairfax counties; or the independent cities of Alexandria, Fairfax or Falls Church. Organizations must have had annual operating revenue or budget between $300,000 and $5,000,000 in each of the three prior reporting periods and provide at least three periods of complete financial statements audited or reviewed by an independent CPA. Formal partnerships require qualified 501(c)(3) partner organizations, signed MOAs and a fully eligible lead applicant; fiscal sponsorship alone is not accepted.
Funding focus: health and wellness, education, family services, arts and culture, and preservation, environment and recreation, particularly meaningful services for historically underserved communities. Current organizational operating expenses are eligible, as are capital projects directly tied to the organization’s work. Ineligible costs include debt reduction, operating deficits, interim/bridge funding, endowments, individual grants, private foundations, religious or partisan political activities, fundraising campaigns, annual appeals and general capital campaigns. Previous $100,000 Impact Grant recipients have a five-year waiting period before another Impact Grant application; only one submission or formal partner participation per organization per year is allowed.
Application requirements: apply through the Impact100 DC Good Grants portal. Prepare a $100,000 budget and impact narrative, three qualifying CPA-audited or CPA-reviewed financial statement packages and signed auditor/reviewer reports, corresponding IRS Form 990 filings, full-year and year-to-date budgets versus actuals, organizational tax-exemption documentation, board list and key staff biographies. A 2027 sample application is provided for preparation only and cannot be submitted offline. The application opened October 5, 2026 and closes November 16, 2026; the funder’s calendar lists April 16, 2027 status notices and finalist notification May 24, 2027.
