Mission and programs · 2023

• GRANTMAKING - IN 2023, 278 WOMEN MADE CONTRIBUTIONS TO BE PART OF OUR 2023 CYCLE OF LEARNING AND GRANTMAKING. BECAUSE OF OUR STRATEGIC PLANNING, NINETY-NINE GIRLFRIENDS ORGANIZED AND MANAGED THE PROCESS OF INVITING APPLICATIONS FROM NONPROFITS PREVIOUSLY AWARDED GRANTS; REVIEWING APPLICATIONS; TRAINING REVIEWERS; COORDINATING THE WORK OF ALL-VOLUNTEER GRANT REVIEW TEAMS TO SELECT FINALISTS FOR PRESENTATION; MANAGING AN ONLINE VOTING PROCESS TO SELECT ORGANIZATIONS FOR FUNDING; AND EXECUTING GRANT AGREEMENTS WITH GROUPS SELECTED FOR FUNDING IN A MORE STREAMLINED MANNER. OVER 30 WOMEN PARTICIPATED IN THIS PROCESS.SEE SCHEDULE O FOR CONTINUATIONFIVE ORGANIZATIONS EACH RECEIVED $50,000 IMPACT AWARDS TO SUPPORT THEIR WORK IN CREATIVE EXPRESSION, EDUCATION, ENVIRONMENT, HEALTH, AND HUMAN SERVICES. ANOTHER FIVE ORGANIZATIONS EACH RECEIVED $7,500 FINALIST AWARDS. NINETY-NINE GIRLFRIENDS LIAISONS WORK WITH EACH IMPACT PARTNER TO SUSTAIN CONNECTIONS AND COMMUNICATION. EDUCATION - NINETY-NINE GIRLFRIENDS PROVIDES EDUCATIONAL ACTIVITIES AND RESOURCES TO HELP WOMEN UNDERSTAND COMMUNITY ISSUES AND LEARN MORE ABOUT INDIVIDUAL AND COLLECTIVE PHILANTHROPY. COMING OUT OF THE PANDEMIC, WE LEANED INTO AS MANY IN-PERSON EVENTS AS POSSIBLE BUT STILL DID A COUPLE VIRTUALLY. OUR DISCOVERY FORUM WAS VIRTUAL, WHERE WE HEARD FROM NON-PROFITS ON HOW THEY ARE COLLABORATING FOR GREATER CHANGE. OUR RACIAL EQUITY COMMITTEE COMPILED RESOURCES ON RACIAL EQUITY TO SHARE WITH OUR MEMBERS ON OUR WEBSITE, AND WE HELD AN IN-PERSON EVENT TO LEARN ABOUT NATIVE AMERICANS AND THEIR HISTORY, CULTURE, AND TENACITY. WE ESTIMATE THAT AT LEAST 400 PEOPLE WERE SERVED BY OUR PROGRAMMING OVER THE YEAR. FELLOWS - IN 2023, NINETY-NINE GIRLFRIENDS DID NOT WELCOME ADDITIONAL FELLOWS TO THE PROGRAM, BECAUSE WE WERE IN THE MIDST OF STRATEGIC PLANNING AND CHANGES TO THIS PROGRAM WAS ONE OF THE GOALS. THE TOTAL NUMBER OF FELLOWS IN 2023 WAS 6. THE PROGRAM GAVE SPECIAL EMPHASIS ON CONNECTING YOUNG WOMEN OF DIVERSE BACKGROUNDS TO ACTIVITIES IN PHILANTHROPY. DURING THE YEAR, FELLOWS HAD OPPORTUNITIES TO ATTEND VIRTUAL PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT SESSIONS, PARTICIPATED IN ONE-ON-ONE MENTORING, AND VOLUNTEERED WITHIN THE LARGER ORGANIZATION.
