Application for 2023 Impact Award 

Due May 15, 2023 by 5 PM PDT 

Thank you for your interest in funding from ninety-nine girlfriends. 

Please read on for more about our 2023 awards. 

Welcome to ninety-nine girlfriends' 2023 grantmaking cycle. This year we are focusing our human resources on strategic planning and simplifying the process for our applicants and volunteers. We see this as an opportunity to reinvest in organizations we have previously supported and are pleased to invite you to submit an application.

You have been selected to apply this year because you are one of the 50 nonprofits that have received an Impact Award or a Finalist Award from ninety-nine girlfriends in the past seven years. 

This year, we will grant five Impact Awards, one in each of our five focus areas, and five Finalist Awards, one in each of our five focus areas. We will inform you of the specific award amounts after May 1, 2023 when our membership number - which determines our grant pool - is finalized. 

THIS YEAR’S AWARDS: 

  • Funds may be used for general operating or project support to advance your mission. Awardees may choose to have funds disbursed in one payment or over the course of two years (in two disbursements). 

  • We will allocate the majority of our funding towards five significant “Impact Awards”, one in each of our focus areas. Finalists will also receive a monetary award.
