Tribute and Memorials

Honor loved ones while supporting the work of our mission

Tribute and memorial gifts are a meaningful way to honor someone special. You can make a one-time gift here.

Additional options are available if you would like to create a more permanent tribute.

All options listed below provide the opportunity for recognition in honor of an unrestricted memorial or tribute gift to Girl Scouts of Eastern Missouri.
