Fund Development
Supporters provide brighter futures for tomorrow’s leaders

The Fund Development/Brand Management Department solicits donations from corporations, foundations, and individuals to assure that Girl Scouting is available for all girls and to provide financial means for Girl Scout programs.
Supporters may honor others in Girl Scouting in several ways: donations to one of the Council’s many funds, an engraved brick on the Promise Path at Camp Agnes Arnold, or a plaque at Camp Casa Mare. Women may join The Emerald Circle, a social and service group, which supports Girl Scouting through its membership fees.
Donate on-line to any of the Council funds at www.gssjc.org.

Calling All Parents

     Fund Development needs your help to make connections with corporations where our families work so that we may ask them to support Girl Scouting in a significant way. Would you help?

     Find out who the Community Relations Director or person in charge of donations at your company, and give the information to Girl Scout volunteer Bud Simpson at 281-778-5199 or staff advisor Marianita Paddock at 713-292-0207.

     The Celebrate Camp Robinwood Troop Campaign actually is just one piece of a much larger campaign, Invest in a Better Future Capital and Endowment Campaign. The $12 million campaign includes components to upgrade and endow six camps, ensure the future of community outreach programs, endow two staff positions, and provide five more college scholarships per year for Girl Scout Gold Award recipients. The campaign will provide this Council with the tools it needs to better serve the girls who are currently Girl Scouts, as well as those who will join in the future.

     GSSJC Board members and staff already have supported the campaign 100%, and GSSJC is currently soliciting major gifts from foundations, corporations, and prominent members of the community. It will take everyone in the community, including Girl Scout families and volunteers, to reach the goal. Together, we can build a better tomorrow for all our girls!
