Hudson Valley MOCA is proud to announce an Impact100 Core Grant of $30,000 in support of ‘Enlighten Peekskill’

We thank the members of Impact100.   

This generous grant will offer financial support to the Peekskill DRI art component of the NYS grant.  It will support the creation of a trail from Riverfront Green in Peekskill and on through the city with light emitting sculptures and murals that will tout the history and beauty of the region while enriching cultural dialogue in the community. 

Impact100/Westchester benefits communities by annually awarding five grants to fund innovative, meaningful projects. A minimum of 100 women members, age 18 and over, join forces with an annual donation of $1,000 to fund the grants.  

 The process is democratic by design. Nonprofits complete an eligibility form and then may receive an invitation to apply for a grant in one of five focus areas: Arts & Culture, Education, Environment & Recreation, Family, and Health & Wellness.  The proposed initiative must predominantly serve Westchester County. 

Volunteers drawn from the membership serve on committees that conduct intense evaluations of the grant applications, then select finalists in each area.  A representative of each of the finalists gives a brief presentation of their organization's proposal at the annual meeting of Impact100. The entire membership of Impact100 then votes to select the grant recipients.
