Foundation partners help us reach historically excluded communities, expand the opportunities we offer, and give every Girl Scout the freedom to choose their path. Together, we build Girl Scouts of courage, confidence, and character who make the world a better place!
Since 1994, the Medina Foundation has helped Girl Scouts of Western Washington grow and sustain outreach programs for girls in underserved communities. They make programs like Girl Scouts Beyond Bars possible: bringing Girl Scouts to youth from families impacted by incarceration. Thanks to their support, we leverage $2 million of our budget for financial assistance, intentional outreach, and programming to assist Girl Scouts in our most vulnerable communities.
We’re grateful to the Norcliffe Foundation for championing our Better Futures For ALL Girl Scouts initiative, which ensures our JEDI (Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion) work touches all our programs. This much-needed funding supports programs including Sisterhood in the City, currently serving Black Girl Scouts in Tacoma troops led by Black mentors; LGBTQ+ Affinity Camp at Camp Robbinswold; and upgrades to make our camps more accessible for Girl Scouts with disabilities.
Google.org has supported Girl Scouts general operations since 2018, and we could not be more grateful. This grant helps us continue to run all of our programs, pay our staff, fuel our financial assistance funding, increase routine maintenance on our camps, and more. Thank you Google.org!
