Impact100 Sydney Networking Drinks, 20 June 2024
Event description
Please join us on 20 June at 6pm, for an opportunity to hear from our 2023 grant recipients and find out first-hand how your donation is changing the lives of vulnerable communities in Sydney. Our discussion will be facilitated by Dom Row, CEO of Homelessness NSW.
Last year we had the opportunity to fund two amazing Sydney charities - The Haven Nepean Women's Health Shelter and the House of Welcome.
The Haven Nepean Women’s Shelter provide crisis accommodation to women and their children escaping family and domestic violence. Our $100,000 grant is supporting the development, implementation and evaluation of a pilot program of specialist therapeutic services for child residents of The Haven. These services support trauma recovery and developmental challenges faced by this vulnerable cohort of young people.
House of Welcome is a support service for refugees and people seeking asylum, which provides a suite of wrap-around programs to address the complex barriers these communities face in finding settlement in Australia. Our $100,000 grant is funding a Client Services Manager for their Welcome Start transitional housing program. This program provides affordable accommodation and wrap around support to refugees and people seeking asylum in Sydney.
Hearing back from last year's grant recipients is always a wonderful opportunity to connect with other donors. You are welcome to bring a friend (or more!) so they too can gain a greater insight into the Impact100 Sydney process, and connect with like-minded people keen to support their community.
Tickets are $20 each with all tickets sales supporting Impact100 Sydney.
We extend our sincere thanks to Canva Space for generously hosting this event.
About Us:
The Impact 100 model is simple. 100 donations of $1,000 are combined to raise $100,000 each year and granted to an organisation that can have a real and measurable impact for our city.
Now in it's 8th year in Sydney, it's one of the fastest growing movements in philanthropy, and for good reason - your donation goes 100 times further through the power of collective giving, and you have a direct say in where the money goes.
