Alumnae Relations Committee

Although girls can only receive one grant from the Ann Bancroft Foundation, we want to maintain a strong connection with our grant alumnae after they have used their grant. The Alumnae Relations Committee works to find ways to engage our alumnae with ABF and our partner organizations after they have completed their funded activity.

Annual Celebration Committee

From choosing the theme, to securing auction items, to volunteering at the event, committee members play a large role in every element of our Annual Celebration.

Granting & Evaluation Committee

Granting is the heart of our work. Twice a year, this committee convenes to review grant applications and make the final selections for each cycle’s grant recipients. The committee also interviews girls after they complete their activity to learn more about the impact our grant had on them. For a more detailed description, click here.

Marketing & Communications Committee

Branding is everything, even for nonprofits. This committee focuses on brand awareness with targeted audiences, comprehensive communications plans, and building visual identity in concert with upcoming organizational initiatives.  For a more detailed description, click here.

Outreach Committee

For 20 years, ABF has been something of a best kept secret. Now, it’s time to get the word out to potential applicants, grant alumnae, and potential partner organizations across the state.  This committee sets goals and executes strategies to raise awareness of and support for ABF while opening up opportunities for girls state-wide.
