The Grants Steering Committee is in full swing!

The Grants Steering Committee is a big deal in ninety-nine girlfriends. It’s one of our largest committees, made up of many teams (Outreach, Intake, Grant Review, Financial Review, Voting, and Impact/Liaisons), and it provides numerous volunteer opportunities while doing really important grantmaking work. Here is just a taste of what is going on with this awesome committee of Girlfriends.

The Outreach Team met with last year's Impact Partners to learn how we can improve our process and their input informed updates to our Guiding Principles, Eligibility Criteria, and 2022 Funding Priority (check the Grants tab on the website to take a peek). The Intake Team is preparing to load the 2022 application into our review software and the Grant Review Teams are recruiting members and developing trainings. The Impact Team liaisons have reached out to connect with their 2021 Impact Partners while we are engaged in learning from each other and from our Impact partners. If you're interested in active participation in our grantmaking, it's not too late to hop onboard.
