Its vision is to support a thriving Sonoma Valley by empowering women to invest in a more sustainable nonprofit community through collective giving and responsible stewardship while emphasizing diversity, equity, and inclusion. The first Impact100 chapter in California, Impact100 Sonoma is an affiliate of Impact100 Global and a member of the national Philanos network.

Margaret Mead Sonoma Valley has a strong level of commitment, generosity and leadership, both from individuals and businesses. We honor and thank each one in our shared goal of ensuring a thriving Sonoma Valley. 100% of each Impact100 Sonoma member's annual donation ($1000) goes toward funding local grants. Our nonprofit organization is managed almost exclusively by volunteer members but, like all nonprofits, it does have operating expenses that must be met. This is where you come in! We welcome and appreciate individual and business donations, large or small, to help offset our essential operating expenses.
