Powerful girls in an equitable society. Our goals are that girls learn to value their whole selves, discover and develop their inherent strengths and receive the support they need to navigate the challenges they face. Girls Inc. girls live healthy and active lifestyles and are less likely to engage in risky behavior; they are eager to learn, successful in school and more likely to graduate from post-secondary education; and they display diligence, perseverance and resilience.
When we support girls, they become resilient and ready for future possibilities! Together we can provide girls with the opportunity to thrive and prepare to become a new generation of leaders.
Our biggest fundraiser is our Fuel Her Fire Auction held every April. It begins online and then culminates in a Live Auction Gala. Our Golf Tournament in September raises money for our sports programming and scholarships, along with our Strong Smart & Bold Raffle in November. The Champion for Girls breakfast is held in June.
Girls Inc. is always accepting donations through our website, mail or telephone. Other giving opportunities include event sponsorships, item donations for our spring auction, planned giving or sponsoring a girl to attend our programs. We also have business partnership opportunities.
Support Volunteers: Talk to us about available opportunities in our centers or with our events.
