to Enter

A Letter of Interest (LOI) is the first step in applying for a 2026 ninety-nine girlfriends Impact Award.

Diversity, equity, and inclusion are central to our work. Our vision is a more equitable community for all; therefore, we prioritize funding that supports communities that are historically and/or currently underserved with respect to socioeconomic status, race, identity, or ability.

LOIs will be evaluated, and a subset of organizations will be invited to submit a full application. Organizations selected to advance will be notified by Monday, April 13th and completed applications and financial materials will be due on Friday, April 24th.
