Family Partnership Campaign: –
It’s Your World – Change It

The Family Partnership Campaign is specifically designed for families to have the opportunity to contribute financially to the Girl Scout experience by making a personal, tax-deductible contribution to support the Girl Scout program in our area. Family support for Girl Scouting is very important. We offer a wide range of opportunities to girls, and family contributions provide programs and funding for camps, as well as resources and training materials for troop leaders and scholarship assistance. The cost of providing the programs, leadership, and materials that are required to support one girl for a year is $300.

Each family that contributes to the Family Partnership Campaign will receive an annual Family Partnership patch for each registered Girl Scout in the family. Join other families who contribute to the Family Partnership Campaign and make your investment today.

Family Partnership donations can be made online, when returning the registration form, or in the envelopes distributed with the registration packets. If you have any questions about the program, or would like to make a donation, contact the service unit manager in your area.

All gifts to Girl Scouts are tax deductible to the fullest extent of the law. Contact your personal tax advisor for more information.
