Aloft Sarasota was pretty in pink on Tuesday night at the Impact 100 SRQ grant finalists meeting.
The nonprofit announced the five finalists vying for two $114,000 grants in the categories of art and culture, education, environment and recreation, family, and health and wellness.
In its first year, $228,000 was raised from 228 Impact 100 SRQ members. Finalists were chosen from a pool of 84 applications overseen by a committee of the nonprofit's founding members. Finalists will have the chance to present their projects at Impact 101 SRQ's annual meeting on Nov. 3 where the two grant winners will be announced.
Impact 100 was launched in November 2018 with a goal to have 100 women join. Each member must donate $1,000, which goes toward grants that are dispersed in at least $100,000 amounts to local charities.
