ImpactClub™ Frederick, MD co-founder

ERIC VERDI
Frederick has been home to my family since 1957 when my grandparents moved here. My wife and her family are lifelong residents too, so when the opportunity to unite others to help locally in Frederick was presented to us, we jumped at the opportunity. The impact that the non-profits of Frederick are having locally here is amazing and to play a small roll in uniting like-minded, giving individuals for a greater good is incredible
About ImpactClub™
ImpactClub Frederick is a group of individuals committed to making a difference in our community. 

Local Members. Local Charities. Local Impact.

The concept is simple. Members commit to donating $100 per quarter. Prior to our quarterly meeting, our members have the chance to nominate their favorite local charities. From those nominations, we randomly choose 3 charities to present at the event. Each charity is given 5 minutes to tell their story and after all 3 have spoken, our members vote.

NEW FOR 2025: The second and third place charities each get $500.
The charity with the most votes takes home the remainder of that quarter’s donation.

Now a $100 donation might not seem like a lot, but think about the impact when you combine 100 of those donations. Suddenly a $100 donation quickly becomes $10,000. $10,000 becomes $20,000. $20,000 becomes $30,000 and so on.

The size of our impact is only limited by the number of members that join us.

The impact on our community isn’t limited to the donation we make. Consider this: Our impact isn't just monetary though. All 3 charities go home with something even more valuable. They leave with increased awareness around their cause. Where else can that charitable co-founder stand in a room filled with people who have already raised their hand and said they are willing to donate to a local charity?

There is nothing preventing our members from supporting these charities on their own.

Second, we all like to do business with people like us. People who care about the community and want to do everything they can to leave it better than they found it. Every event is another opportunity to meet fellow members who care about the same things you do.

Looking for a plumber to fix a clogged drain? Or maybe you need a home inspection done. Don’t pick a name out of the phone book. Instead scroll through the list of ImpactClub members. Why not support those business owners who actively invest in our community.

There are no strict requirements to joining this group. You don’t need to be a business owner, you don’t need to be a certain age. Our membership is diverse. White collar, blue collar, no collar. And we have members of all ages. But we all have one thing in common. We are all here to make an impact in our community.

We use our intelligence, connections, propensity to solve problems, committed hearts, and unrelenting conviction to turn small donations into huge impact.
