Have you ever wondered what happens to the $100 you contribute to ninety-nine girlfriends above and beyond the $1,000 grant pool contribution? Here’s your answer: Our annual administrative, event, and education expenses are supported by your $100 membership contribution. Per the 2023 budget, approximately half of your dues are expected to offset the costs of events planned for this year and to cover technology expenses. Merchant charges, licenses, and insurance expenses compile roughly 25%, and accounting/contract services and professional development expenses comprise the remaining key expenses.
