Your Gift Makes a Difference
Girl Scouting makes a tremendous difference in the lives of girls. It is our commitment that every girl, everywhere, may receive the benefits of Girl Scouting. But we can’t do it alone. Your tax-deductible contribution, large or small, to Girl Scouts of Spar and Spindle Council supports exemplary programs for girls that are delivered by caring, qualified adults. Financial support from individuals, businesses, and foundations is needed to advance the work of the council. We welcome support of Girl Scout families, alumnae, adult volunteers, corporations, small businesses, foundations, and community friends. Give generously and know that your gift will be used wisely to shape today’s girls into tomorrow’s women.

There are Many Ways to Give

Annual Giving Family Partnership
Family Partnership is an organized, council-wide campaign conducted by adult volunteers to obtain annual contributions for Girl Scouting in our area. It is a viable way for parents, relatives, businesses and community friends to tangibly express their belief in the value of Girl Scouting by investing in our girls’ futures. 100% of the funds generated from the Annual Giving Family Partnership campaign directly support local programs for girls that promote leadership development, new skills, community involvement, and fun.

Contributions to the Family Partnership provide needed funds to recruit volunteers, establish troops, train leaders, organize outreach programs for under served girls, and develop exciting new programs! We ask every family to consider what Girl Scouting means to the girls in their lives and to our community as a whole. Then give as generously as you can. A contribution of $25 or more is suggested; however, any amount that you can afford is deeply appreciated. Check to see if your employer offers a matching gift program. This is a great way to double or even triple your gift! Click to open donation form.
