Mission Statement
Our Mission: Girl Scouting builds girls of courage, confidence, and character, who make the world a better place.
About This Cause
We’re 2.7 million strong—1.9 million girls and 800,000 adult volunteers who believe girls can change the world. It began over 100 years ago with one woman, Girl Scouts’ founder Juliette Gordon “Daisy” Low, who believed in the power of every girl. She organized the first Girl Scout troop on March 12, 1912, in Savannah, Georgia, and every year since, we've made her vision a reality, helping girls discover their strengths, passions, and talents. Today, as yesterday, we continue the Girl Scout mission of building girls of courage, confidence, and character who make the world a better place. We’re the preeminent leadership development organization for girls. And with programs for girls from coast to coast and across the globe, Girl Scouts offers every girl a chance to do something amazing. Girl Scouts helps develop strong women of character, who go on to write policy, run companies, engineer robots, and inspire social change.

Please contact: donate@girlscoutsww.org and we'll be happy to help!** **According to IRS regulations, gift-matching and time-matching funds may not be used to support a specific troop or Service Unit (SU), as this is considered a private benefit. (IRS: 4221-PC: Compliance Guide for 501(c) Charities) (p.4 'What Activities May Jeopardize a Public Charity’s Tax-Exempt Status?' Ch. 3: 'Private Benefit and Inurement A public charity is prohibited from allowing more than an insubstantial accrual of private benefit to individuals or organizations. This restriction is to ensure that a tax-exempt organization serves a public interest, not a private one. If a private benefit is more than incidental, it could jeopardize the organization’s tax-exempt status.' Further information may be found at IRS.gov, in IRS Publication 557, p. 50 (2nd column, near the bottom of the page), or by calling the IRS at (877) 829-5500.**
