Before girls can grow up to change the world, they have to believe they can.

As part of Girl Scouts of Northern California, girls gain a safe space to discover their own abilities—and the results are astounding. Every dollar you give powers a girl’s journey as she strives to lead, thrive, and make the world a better place. Beyond professional achievement, Girl Scout alums are also more likely to take civic action, volunteer in their communities, and stand up for their beliefs and values.

When it comes to supporting the next generation of girls, your generous contribution makes all the difference. Thank you for your partnership!

Make an online donation – it's fast, easy, and secure!

Donor Advised Funds toggle arrow

Recommend a grant be made from your DAF to GSNorCal. DAFs are an excellent way to both simplify your charitable giving and facilitate your strategic philanthropic goals.

Required Minimum Distributions toggle arrow

RMDs are the minimum amount people of a certain age are required to withdraw from certain retirement accounts such as an IRA, SEP IRA, SIMPLE IRA, or retirement plan account. When you give all or a portion of your RMD to a charitable organization, it’s called a “Qualified Charitable Distribution” (QCD). For many people, RMDs are an excellent and convenient way to earn tax benefits by contributing to your charity of choice. Check with your tax professional for more details.

Workplace Giving toggle arrow

Many companies encourage their employees to volunteer in the communities where they live and work, and in turn the employer will offer matching dollars for the hours. Inquire with your Human Resources department about your program.

Matching Gifts toggle arrow

See if your company matches gifts!
