Grants Update

Our Focus Area Leads have been hard at work organizing their groups to review grant applications, and semi-finalists were notified on October 8. From October 26 – November 7, members can join site visits to meet these inspiring nonprofits up close. It all builds to the highlight of the year—The Big Give on Thursday, November 18—where finalists will present, members will cast their votes, and we’ll announce and celebrate this year’s grant awards live at the event! 

Thank you to all of you who have made the time to gather and review grant applications. Special thanks to Kristen Phillips, Grants Director, for herding all the cats!

Spotlight on Focus Area:
Health & Wellness

Supporting the physical and mental well-being of our community, this focus area invests in initiatives that expand access to healthcare, improve quality of life, and promote healthier futures for all. Our mission: to one day award a $100,000 grant in each focus area: Arts & Culture, Education, Environment, Preservation & Recreation, Preservation, Family, and Health & Wellness.

BeWell in School exemplifies the kind of transformational work that the Health & Wellness Focus Area of Impact100 Nashville seeks to support. By teaching students breathwork, mindfulness, and movement strategies, BeWell helps young people develop self-regulation skills, reduce stress, and enhance emotional resilience—directly promoting mental health and wellness in school settings. 

In 2022, BeWell in School was awarded $25,000 through Impact100, enabling them to deepen their program evaluation and support expansion. Their mission aligns perfectly with the focus area’s goal of improving wellness education and access to mental health tools in our community.

Join their donation-based, community yoga classes on Saturday mornings @ 9:30am now through the November 18. No registration required. Show up, sign up, and be a part of it!
