Annual Giving
All gifts help girls develop their full potential
Girl Scouts of Eastern Missouri is a non-profit organization that relies on individuals—like you—to sustain its programs and services. With your support, Girl Scouting will continue to evolve to meet the changing needs of our girls in urban, suburban and rural areas.
Your gift to Girl Scouting will help all girls grow into active and engaged members of their communities and develop their full leadership potential.
There are so many ways to support Girl Scouts of Eastern Missouri. Choose the ones that are right for you:
Gifts for Girls
All girls have the ability to lead, but not every girl has the opportunity. Gifts for Girls, our annual giving campaign, provides the financial resources necessary to ensure all girls have access to programs and experiences that prepare them as critical thinkers, creative problem-solvers, community stewards, and ready leaders. Together, we are developing girls of courage, confidence and character who make the world a better place. Every gift makes a difference to our girls.
Make an annual gift of $25 or more to receive a fun Gifts for Girls patch. A $25 gift can cover the cost of a full year of Girl Scouting for one girl!
Our updated Gifts for Girls patches will be here soon! They will be mailed out to 2023 donors as soon as we receive them. If you have not received your patch by the end of March, please contact Shannon Bodenschatz at sbodenschatz@girlscoutsem.org.
Girl Scout Giving Circle
Girl Scout Giving Circles recognize stakeholders who make a significant impact in the lives of girls across eastern Missouri. Your support provides ongoing skill-building programming for girls that teach them the 21st century skills needed to become the leaders of tomorrow. Giving Circle members passionately support leadership development for girls with a gift or pledge of $1,000 or more in annual operating support.
For more information about our Girl Scout Giving Circles, please email the Fund Development department.
