Family Partnership Campaign

Make an Investment in Girl Scouting!

Family Partnership is a key component of Girl Scouts of North East Ohio’s annual giving fundraising campaign.  By supporting Family Partnership, parents and family play a vital role in helping us ensure that Girl Scouts is available to every girl who wishes to participate.  All proceeds received from the Family Partnership campaign are used to assist girls with Girl Scout membership, program fees, dues, uniforms and books. In the current economic climate, we are committed to ensuring that every girl has an equal opportunity to participate in Girl Scouting, regardless of her financial situation.

It costs between $200-$300 per year to provide Girl Scouting to one girl.  This amount includes financial support from parents and troops – which shows how important your support of Family Partnership really is!

In April 2009, GSNEO kicked off its Family Partnership campaign. We introduced a four-year patch series to commemorate the upcoming 100th Anniversary of Girl Scouts.  Each year through 2012, your gift of at least $25 or more will entitle your Girl Scout family to receive another piece of this segmented patch.

Add to your patch each year! Collect them all!

2009 - Flower pot and daisy
2010 - Tulip
2011 - Daffodil
2012 - 100th anniversary sunburst

Options for Famiy Partnership Donations

• Contribute to Family Partnership using the “One Check – One Time” method. As you complete your annual Membership Registration form, simply check the “I would like to contribute” box on the bottom of the registration form.  Your gift is tax-deductible, and your contribution can be written on the same check as the membership registration fee.

Family Partnership isn’t about how much you give – it’s about giving what you can to make a difference in your community.  Family Partnership begins at home with the adults, volunteers, families, and girls that make up our large family of Girl Scouts of North East Ohio.  It’s about making a Real Investment to build Real Leadership in the Real Girls of Girl Scouting.
