FY 2017 Annual Report
January 1, 2017 - August 31, 2017
of Santa Fe
DEAR FRIENDS
This fiscal year has been nothing short of
groundbreaking. I am in awe of what we have
been able to accomplish in such a short time.
Because of you, Girls Inc. of Santa Fe:
• Served 515 Girls with impact
• Reached 60 more girls over the summer
• Hired 2 full time program staff
• Expanded into new administrative offices
(creating additional space for programs)
• Provided the Girls Inc. experience at 8 off-site
locations
• Took huge steps toward achieving our Bold
Goal for the future
Santa Fe's girls struggle every day and the
need for our programs has never been greater.
Summer and afterschool registration is always
waitlisted and it is heartbreaking to be forced
to turn away hundreds of families who want
nothing more than to help their daughters
become the best versions of themselves.
It’s just not acceptable.
Our mission is “inspiring ALL girls to be strong,
smart and bold,” not just SOME girls. That is
why, together, we are rising to the occasion for
the benefit of each and every girl living in our
community. All girls
deserve to have a safe
place to be themselves
while learning the skills
she needs to succeed
in life.
How are we stepping
up? By being BOLD.
Our Bold Goal is to
triple the number of
girls served with
impact by 2021. That’s
1500 girls who will receive 100 or more hours
of the Girls Inc. Experience on an annual basis.
You are already in her corner and I ask that you
continue to walk with us as we work to inspire
more girls than ever before. Together, we can
make Santa Fe the best place “to grow up girl.”
Sincerely,
Kim Brown
P.S. Our Board of Directors and staff have
worked together to thoughtfully plan each
phase of our growth and I am happy to
provide you copies of our strategic direction
upon request.
Fiscal Year Shift
The Girls Inc. of Santa Fe Board of Directors
approved a proposal to shift the fiscal year to
September - August. The reason for the shift
is that most of our funds (78%) are raised in
October - December. In addition, our programs
are primarily offered in two cycles, School-year
and Summer, therefore the new fiscal year
will be in alignment with annual program
schedules. Please note that giving
levels will now be based on total
giving from September - August
instead of the calendar year.
Inspiring all girls to be strong, smart, and bold.
