Fall Impact Week is November 11-15, 2024 and Spring Impact Week is March 31-April 4, 2025.

These projects will benefit the William & Mary community and beyond. To receive funding, organizations must encourage fellow students to vote for their project in the form of a $5 gift to William & Mary that can benefit any area of campus. Funding received will be determined by the number of votes:
- 1st place will receive $2,500 towards their project
