At its annual Evening of Impact on November 2, Impact 100 Baldwin County named Baldwin Pops, Inc. (Funding the Beginning of Music…1,2,3); Baldwin County Education Coalition, Inc. (Expansion of Palm Project); Mobile Baykeeper, Inc. (Oyster Garden Project); Youth-Reach Gulf Coast (Equipment to Empower); and Prodisee Pantry, Inc. (Cultivating Healthy Options in a Food Desert) as its grant winners. These five agencies were chosen from the focus areas of Arts & Culture & Recreation; Education; Environment & Preservation; Family; and Health & Wellness. They will each receive $105,000. The non profit organizations were selected from a competitive field of applicants and vetted by a rigorous review process including site visits, financial analysis and in-depth discussions within the respective focus group. The finalists made a short presentation about their projects at the annual meeting. Members voted last night for who they found most compelling, and the results were announced at the end of the event. “Today is one of my favorite days of the year,” said Sandy Stepan, Impact 100 Baldwin County President. “We award life-changing grants and get to hear about some of the great work being done throughout Baldwin County.” Tonight’s awards bring the total invested in our community to $5.5 million since 2008.
