The 40 for 40 Initiative
One of the Impact Council’s signature fundraising efforts is the 40 for 40 Challenge.
We challenge every member to raise $40 from 40 people throughout the year.
The Goal
- 40 supporters
- $40 each
- $1,600 raised per member
When multiplied across the Impact Council, this simple grassroots effort can provide meaningful support for local ALS programs, patient services, and advocacy efforts.
Why It Works
The 40 for 40 Challenge makes fundraising approachable, achievable, and impactful. Instead of asking a few people for large donations, members engage their networks in a collective effort that demonstrates the power of community.
Make an Impact
Whether you raise funds through social media, workplace giving, personal outreach, birthday fundraisers, or friendly competitions, every dollar helps support people living with ALS and their families.
Small actions. Big impact.
Who Should Join?
The Impact Council is open to professionals, entrepreneurs, community leaders, and emerging changemakers who want to connect with others while supporting an important cause.
You don’t need prior nonprofit experience—just a passion for making a difference.
