June 16, 2021 - The second quarter of 2020 donation from the 50 Women Impact was awarded to two worthy organizations, the Cole DePriest Scholarship Foundation and Shelby County Outreach Ministries.

The 50 Women Impact who work together as one had a tie for the first time once all the votes were tallied. The total raised by each member giving $100 was $11,200 which breaks down to each organization receiving $5,600. The power of giving as one still stands true as the organization continues to grow in membership and their impact is still great even when given among two.
