Our Impact
Our Impact
After only two years, Impact100 Wakatipu has donated $320,000 to local organisations in the Wakatipu.
We are so proud of our achievement, but what we are most proud of is seeing the impact our giving is having.
Our major $100,000 grants create transformational opportunities for these vital organisations, and even $5000
can make a difference which is detailed in our 2021 Giving Impact Report.
In 2022 we have $168,000 to grant which means nearly $500,000 has will have been donated to the Wakatipu Community in three years.

Founder Alison Wildey called the donation a high point in a 20-year journey fighting the “invisibility” that society can inflict on people with disabilities.
