Just as their slogan ‘Do a good turn daily’ shares, Girl Scouts of the Northwestern Great Lakes (GSNWGL) is continuing to make circles of positivity around helping girls in Door County become leaders thanks to a Women’s Fund Community Grant.
The $4,000 grant pooled contributing funds from the Barbara and James Hansen Fund, Dianne Trenchard Fund, Lutsey Family Foundation, Marion Peterson Memorial Fund, Marti (Spittell) and Gary Ziegelbauer Fund, Nancy A. Felhofer Memorial Fund, Sally & Michael O’Brien Family Fund, and the Women’s Fund Endowment of Door County. Together, funding will assist with membership fees, costs associated with camp, uniforms, and programming; last year alone, GSNWGL provided $160,000 in financial support.
“We fully depend on having our partners just really understanding how their investment is moving our girls forward in leadership skills and building courage, confidence and character,” said Kate Corey, the Chief Development Officer for Girl Scouts of the Northwestern Great Lakes, “it’s amazing to have those types of partners and we couldn’t be more honored to receive this type of funding.
In Door County, there are currently 145 girls amongst 17 troops who are active in Girl Scouting. For more information on Girl Scouts, visit their website here.
