“We are very excited that Kim will join Impact and work collaboratively with our Board of Directors, members, applicants and grantees to fulfill our mission of providing high-impact funding to nonprofits in the region,” said Suzan Willcox, Co-President of Impact100. “This is an important step in Impact100’s evolution as we seek to engage even more women in collective giving and increase our funding to the nonprofit community.”
Kim brings 20 years of nonprofit leadership expertise, including capacity building, fundraising, board engagement, program design and evaluation, and a strong belief in the power and potential of collective giving. Co-President Monica Justice said, “The Board is eager to work with Kim to continually improve our organization, ensuring a rewarding experience for our members and a meaningful funding opportunity for smaller and lesser-known nonprofits in our community.”
For the past two years, Kim has been a consultant with the Free Library of Philadelphia and the Center for High Impact Philanthropy. Prior to consulting, she spent thirteen years at the Philadelphia nonprofit Need in Deed, including six years as Executive Director.
“The organization is at this point because of the hard work and dedication its members have poured into Impact100 to date,“ Kim said. “With collective giving, you have women pooling their money and their minds, thinking about ways to work and grow. I am honored to have the opportunity to serve as Impact100’s first Executive Director to further develop what is already a well-respected, significant funder in the region. I'm excited to get started.”
