2023 Goals:

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.

For 2023, our goals are to reach more girls by expanding school-based programs across the state and to continue to provide quality after-school and summer programs, and free, nutritious meals in our Manchester and Nashua centers.

Fundraising Events:

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.

Giving Opportunities:

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 for programs in schools in your community.
