Help her navigate the pathway to success.

Before a Girl Scout sails around the world or designs their own fashion line, she needs to believe they can do it.

Invest in our local Girl Scouts and make those dreams a reality. Then watch as she discovers new interests and chases her dreams—with the pride of knowing you helped make it possible.

An investment in Girl Scouts is an investment in shaping the next generation of leaders, making our community better, stronger, and brighter.

Your gift will be used to provide membership, financial assistance, uniforms, camp scholarships, and more to ensure every girl in every neighborhood has the opportunity to participate in Girl Scouts. Every dollar you give stays right here in our community.

Girl Scouts of Western Ohio welcomes your generosity via Donor Advised Funds. Grants made to Girl Scouts of Western Ohio through Donor Advised Funds can be designated for use whenever the need is greatest or aligned with thematic areas that match your interest, such as girl assistance, campership, or STEM programs.

IRA Charitable Distribution toggle arrow

IRA Charitable Rollover or Qualified Charitable Distribution is a fantastic way to allow taxpayers 70 1/2 and older to make a tax-free contribution directly from your IRA to charities. Such gifts can be made without increasing your taxable income or withholding. Additionally, funds transferred will count toward your annual required minimum distribution (RMD).

Your gift will be used today, allowing you to see the difference your donation makes for girls.

Certain limitations apply to these non-taxable charitable distributions from an IRA:

You must be at least 70 1/2 years of age when the gift is transferred.
Total gifts cannot exceed $100,000 per year per IRA owner or beneficiary. (Legally married couples with separate IRAs could give up to $200,000 annually).
Gifts must be made directly from your IRA to a charity and cannot be made to a private foundation, a supporting organization, or a donor-advised fund.
The gifts must be outright. For instance, they cannot be used to establish a charitable gift annuity or fund a charitable remainder trust.

Checks directly from your IRA may be mailed to our Cincinnati Service Center:
