Impact 100 - United Way of Greater Kansas City The Impact 100 is a group of nonprofit organizations within United Way of Greater Kansas City’s service region that are working to meet today’s most critical health and human service need. Each organization must meet a high bar of organizational accountability in terms of finances, governance and community impact.
Impact 100 organizations are diverse in the type of work they do, the geographic regions and demographics served. How is the Impact 100 selected? The community generously supports the work of United Way and through the Impact 100 it is our responsibility to focus on how we invest those dollars wisely and responsibly for maximum impact.
All 501(C)3 organizations who operate in the principal service area of United Way of Greater Kansas City and work in the areas of healthcare, youth opportunity, financial security and community resiliency are eligible to apply. Our Community Advisory Members help review applications submitted by eligible nonprofits to help inform what organizations are ultimately selected for inclusion in the Impact 100.
Community Advisory Members include United Way staff, corporate and nonprofit professionals, local volunteers and advocates. Their scores and recommendations are then shared with United Way’s Community Impact team for further review. After that review process is completed, the recommended Impact 100 list is submitted to the United Way Board of Trustees for final input and approval.

Q. How does United Way determine the amount of grant dollars an organization receives? A.
This is based on a combination of factors, including the scores received by the organization during the application review process and organizational need: budget, funding health of the nonprofit, what its mission focus is compared with overall community need in that area.
Many other variables are also taken into consideration to ensure the Impact 100 portfolio represents an expansive geographical service area, breadth of services provided, and communities/populations supported. Q. Can two organizations apply for Impact 100 funding together?
A. While collaboration is highly encouraged, the lead nonprofit in a joint application would be the only entity eligible to receive funding. Individual projects cannot apply, only 501(c)3 organizations as an entity can submit an application.
Q. How long does an organization receive funding through the Impact 100? A.
To be highly responsive to ever-changing community needs, Impact 100 is a one-year grant cycle. Organizations must reapply for funding each year, should they wish to be eligible for continued support from United Way. Organizations who are not selected for funding one year can still reapply in subsequent years.
Q. Once the Impact 100 is selected, how does United Way work with these nonprofits beyond providing funding? A.
United Way provides many opportunities for our nonprofit partners to connect with our corporate partners and individual donors. Nonprofits participate in Waymaker TM speaking panels, impact bus tours, volunteer experiences, and special events to help our community better understand the role of their organizations and work with United Way in Kansas City’s nonprofit ecosystem.
