Join us to make a difference
We are Sydney-siders of all ages and backgrounds, pooling our funds to make a difference. By joining us you’ll be helping local grassroots organisations, giving them access to an impact grant that will help change lives – and you’ll get to be a part of the selection process.
Your donation will help create one (or more!) high impact grants of $100,000. The more members we have, the more we can give.
Donations are fully tax-deductible. To enable this we are set up as a sub-fund of Australian Communities Foundation (ACF), so donations are made through their secure donations portal.

PAF Membership
Some people prefer to join IMPACT100 Sydney North through their Private Ancillary Fund (PAF) or Family Foundation, rather via an individual tax deductible donation. This is not a problem and much appreciated, however current tax rulings require the PAF membership donation to go directly to a charity.
PAFs are Deductible Gift Recipient (DGR) Item 2 entities. Australian Communities Foundation (ACF), of which IMPACT100 Sydney North is a sub-fund, is also a DGR Item 2 entity. Item 2 organisations are grant making entities that only collect and distribute funds and are not entitled to give to each other. To overcome this, your generous PAF donation needs to go directly to a DGR1 non-profit organisation that actively undertakes charitable and other programs. IMPACT100 Sydney North only accepts grant applicants from charities with DGR1 status.
A minimum pledge of $1,000 entitles you to membership of IMPACT100 Sydney North, including one vote at our Annual Grants Celebration to select the recipient of our $100,000 Primary Grant (s). In consultation with you, your PAF donation will go to an IMPACT100 Sydney North finalist and the receipt will be issued directly to your PAF by the receiving organisation.
If you would like to join via your PAF, please complete our PAF Member Pledge Form and email it to info@impact100sydneynorth.org
