With help from our donors—We did it!

In mid-October, ILI launched a new way — the IMPACT Fund — for donors to support our work, with the goal to raise $100,000.

This is an ambitious target, but it can be reached. Our Board of Directors is 100% committed and their help, coupled with a COVID-19 Stabilization Grant from the Community Foundation of Western Massachusetts, means we are almost halfway there.

In November, an anonymous donor issued a $20,000 challenge to anchor the Fund! We created a ‘pictometer’ to chart progress in matching the challenge. For every $1000 raised, another square on the pictometer lights up.

We are thrilled to announce that generous supporters met the $20,000 challenge! This is a significant step towards the $100,000 IMPACT Fund goal!
