Every year, Girl Scouts throughout Oregon and SW Washington invest in
our communities to make the world a better place. It’s time we invest
in them too!
Join us to lift up the next generation of women and help them find
their own pathways to success. Then, watch girls learn, grow,
discover—and soar to new heights—with the pride of knowing you helped
make it possible.
Join the Give
Like a Girl Scout campaign and help us raise funds that
change the world.
What: The goal of the Give
Like a Girl Scout campaign is to raise $125,000 for our
council. We’re looking for 150 people to be champions for girls
and help us reach our goal.
How: There are three ways to participate:
-
Give.
Yes, it’s that simple. Your donation, at any level, supports girls
in gaining the tools they need to meet today’s problems with bold
solutions and create a better, brighter tomorrow.
-
Become
a Champion: Create a fundraising page, share your story, and
encourage others to give. Check out our toolkit for instructions to set
up your page and sample templates for making your asks, including
sample emails, and social media tools. Then just share your page via
social media and email. A suggested timeline is provided in the
toolkit to take advantage of special dates like Giving Tuesday, your
birthday, and upcoming holidays.
-
Become
a Champion: Host a house party. Your party can be a
lunch, brunch, book party, or even a hike—whatever works best for
you! We suggest setting your fundraising goal for house parties no
lower than $500, especially if you are providing snacks. Our toolkit has all the information and
resources you need to get started and host a successful party.
Know someone that would make a great champion? Please
let us know.
When: The campaign will run from November through February,
allowing maximum flexibility for you to fit this into your schedule
AND take advantage of unique dates and events that will help you reach
your fundraising goal.
Next Steps: This is a team effort! We need as many adults to
participate in this campaign as possible to reach our goals for girls.
Plus, the more we share our collective voice around the giving season,
the more top of mind we’ll be for those interested in making a
difference before the end of the year. Staff, volunteers, board
members, and even alumnae will have fundraising pages.
Celebrate: Anyone raising $500 or $1,000 will receive a special
Girl Scout SWAG item to celebrate our commitment to girls.
