The Girl Scout Giving Circles bring donors together to pool resources and be part of something collectively powerful.

Our mission is simple and strong: to provide financial support so hundreds of girls in low-income communities can participate in Girl Scout programs — including after-school troops in juvenile detention and continuation schools, special events, leadership opportunities, and summer camp.

Since the first Circle launched in 2017, donors have contributed over $540,000 to the Girl Scout community. That’s real impact — and it continues to grow. 

But Giving Circles are about more than philanthropy. Members build connections with like-minded people, form new friendships, and gain deeper perspective on the issues facing girls and gender-expansive youth in our community. 

Ours is a circle of friends united by ideals.

Juliette Gordon Low

Through optional gatherings throughout the year, Giving Circle members receive council updates, volunteer together, learn about programs, vote on and award grants, and hear how their collective contributions are elevating the Girl Scout experience.

We invite you to join a circle of alums and friends who are investing in girls — and helping shape the next generation of leaders.
