Pioneers of the Fund

Pioneers of the Fund

In May 2019, The Girl Friends Fund, Inc.® celebrated its 30th Anniversary and a special scholarship was established in honor of our 48 distinguished Pioneers. Our Pioneers are the Founders and early contributors of The Girl Friends Fund, Inc.® from 1989-2005. These Girl Friends had a vision to start and sustain the Fund by creating a nonprofit charitable endeavor.
