Ninety-nine girlfriends 2022 grant making cycle is now open! We are thrilled to announce that we will invest $450,000 in our community this year. We will grant one Impact Award of $70,000 and one Finalist Award of $15,000 in each of our five focus areas. Plus, semi-finalists that don’t advance will receive a recognition gift of $2,500.

In 2022, ninety-nine girlfriends will fund organizations that are working to dismantle systemic racism, advance anti-racism, and move our region towards racial equity as defined and experienced by BIPOC communities (Black, Indigenous and people of color). The work of these organizations should be in collaboration with the BIPOC communities they serve, preferably through self-identified BIPOC leadership, staff, and board members.

You can find everything you need to know about our grantmaking and how to apply here including a 15-minute informational webinar. Additionally, we will host two optional live Question & Answer sessions. The first will be held on Tuesday, May 10 at 5:00 PM and the second session will be held on Wednesday, May 11 at 12:00 noon. You may access the Zoom link for both sessions here and on our website.

Applications are due by 5:00 PM PDT on June 6, 2022. No late submissions will be accepted.
