“Everything we do in Girlfriend Factor is meant to be fun. If I’m going to commit to working on something, I want to enjoy doing it. Quite honestly, before I started GFF, there was nothing in our community that had a fun element to it. Everything was too serious and red-tape,” Busick said of her style of philanthropy.

The organization’s primary aim is to provide financial and emotional support to women through its GoGirl! Grants. “The women we select are determined to be successful. They have a specific educational path that they are passionate about that leads to a career. And they are convinced that they will achieve their goal with or without our help.”
