Be a
Friend to Girl Scouting and Make a Gift
Help girls
find their way with a gift to the Girl Scout Council of Greater
Minneapolis
Although the Girl Scout Program is volunteer-driven, the program has
many expenses. The $10 membership dues go directly to the national
organization, GSUSA. The Girl Scout Council of Greater Minneapolis must
find other sources of income, such as charitable contributions, to keep
programs, events, and leader training affordable, and provide financial
assistance to girls. The Girl Scouts prides itself in being an
organization that is driven by its substantial volunteer base. But even
with 8,000 volunteers providing tens of thousands of volunteer hours
each year to 20,000 girls, there are still substantial program and
material expenses. As a matter of fact, it costs $350 per girl to
provide a Girl Scout experience for one year. In order to ensure that
our programs remain affordable and accessible, the council must rely on
financial gifts from a wide variety of sources.
