Supporting Women in Our Community for Over 18 Years
Life-Changing
Accomplishments
If you want to change the world, educate a woman!
That’s over 18 years of making a difference in other women’s lives!! Can you believe it? It was May 8, 2006 when we launched the beginning of our organization and website with a pajama party where we signed up our first Girlfriends, blew bubbles, dealt with an unruly chocolate fountain and shared our dreams with over 70 local women who were curious as to what GFF was all about. On that day we were filled with enthusiasm but really had no idea of the huge impact we ultimately would make on other women’s lives. We look forward to many years of continued joint effort and life-changing accomplishments.

Keeping it Local
to our community
Grassroots and homegrown
It’s really all about seeing the faces of the women we help and knowing their names. Which is why, for GFF, it’s all about local funds for local women. Seeing our grant recipients radiate confidence as they gain self-worth reinforces the fact that we are personally helping change the world. When you donate a dollar to GFF, that whole dollar goes to help women in our community attend our local schools so they can become gainfully employed in our local economy. When a woman becomes a productive citizen in the workforce we all win.
Always remember that GFF is not someone else’s charity. It is OUR charity. Grassroots and homegrown. We encourage you to stay connected or reconnect, with GFF. We look forward to many years of continued joint efforts and life-changing accomplishments.
