Introduction: Transforming Lives Through Direct Giving
Across the world, research shows that direct cash giving creates long-term change. In one Kenyan village, every adult received $500—no conditions, just trust. Two years later, local businesses expanded, children performed better in school, and the economy grew beyond expectations. This remarkable outcome proves that when people decide what they need most, progress follows naturally. Inspired by this approach, the Project 100 Passion Project Fund empowers local entrepreneurs to pursue their dreams. Through this initiative, passionate individuals gain the opportunity to transform ideas into sustainable ventures that uplift both themselves and their communities.
The Purpose of the Project 100 Passion Project Fund
The Project 100 Passion Project Fund was founded on the belief that change begins with trust and opportunity. The program supports visionaries who aim to turn passion into lasting impact. Each grant symbolizes confidence in people’s ability to shape their futures and achieve growth. The initiative promotes self-reliance, creativity, and innovation, especially among small business owners working to strengthen their communities. Moreover, it demonstrates how even modest funding can lead to powerful, long-term transformation. By giving dreamers the tools they need, Project 100 helps ideas evolve into inspiring success stories.
Community Collaboration and Empowerment
The Project 100 Passion Project Fund thrives through meaningful collaboration and shared purpose. This year, Project 100 partnered with All About the Bay, an organization dedicated to connecting and uplifting entrepreneurs. Together, they ensure that every project receives not just funding but also guidance and exposure. Their partnership amplifies the impact of local innovation and drives community growth. Special recognition also goes to Karen Huang of CHWebMedia, whose leadership and dedication helped make this initiative possible. By combining resources and passion, these partners demonstrate the true power of community-driven success.
Celebrating Stunning Angels and Suzanne Figueroa
This year, Project 100 proudly honors Suzanne Figueroa of Stunning Angels for her creativity, service, and heart. Her business embodies the spirit of the Project 100 Passion Project Fund, showing how determination and innovation can transform small opportunities into significant impact. The $1,000 grant she received represents more than financial help—it’s an investment in vision and purpose. Even small acts of support can inspire growth, confidence, and transformation. Suzanne’s dedication proves that when passion meets opportunity, it can create a ripple effect that uplifts everyone around her.
