Annual Fund - Helping GSGATL Ful�ll the Mission How the Annual Fund Campaign Works Every parent is asked to make a tax-deductible contribution each year at the time of registration and to extend this request for support of Girl Scout programs to their friends and family.

�� Frequently Asked Questions �� It is the means by which we maintain and grow local Girl Scout programs. It enables Girl Scouts of Greater Atlanta to serve over 41,000 girls, which represents 8% of the girls in our area. Our goal to increase participation in the Annual Fund is an e�ort to provide experiences that are proven to build future leaders and to reach a signi�cantly greater number of girls. �� Without the Annual Fund, we could not continue to serve all of the girls who are currently active in Girl Scout programs locally nor could we expand these experiences to more girls. Proceeds from Chocolates & Magazines and from the Girl Scout Cookie program provide tremendous support and we are very proud of these successful programs, but we must do more if we are to increase the percentage of girls served and fund Girl Scout programs, eight camp properties, a 34 county membership support team, trainings and resources for nearly 18,000 adult volunteers, and the indirect expenses associated with an e�ectively-run, nonpro�t organization. Parent participation in the Annual Fund also demonstrates to grantors and other contributors that families support their own daughters’ experiences in Girl Scouts. �� Yes. Every donation, regardless of size, makes a di�erence. �� The $12 membership fee is sent directly to the national o�ce (GSUSA) to cover the cost of insurance and other services, such as program development, provided by GSUSA. None of this money is retained by GSGATL. �� The money you give to your daughter supports speci�c troop activities. None of that money is used for the services provided by GSGATL. It costs GSGATL approximately $325 annually to provide services to your daughter, such as training troop volunteers, providing clean, safe campsites and GSGATLwide activities. Many organizations that o�er as much to young people as Girl Scouting charge a sizable membership fee. �� The Annual Fund is direct support to GSGATL and a demonstration of your belief in Girl Scouting over and above your generous support of the Girl Scout Cookie Program. Only part of our income is derived from this source. We cannot rely on proceeds from the Girl Scout Chocolates and Magazines Program or the Girl Scout Cookie Program to provide quality programs and to serve all our girl members. �� We do. Every year GSGATL reaches out to hundreds of local businesses, corporations, foundations and individuals to help defray the cost of the general operation of GSGATL and for special programming. These funders often see the Annual Fund program as an assurance of the quality of Girl Scouting because it is a vote of con�dence by our families. Other Ways You Can Support the Annual Fund Matching Gifts Some Companies o�er a matching gifts program as a bene�t to its employees. When you or your parents make a gift to the Annual Fund, ask them if their company has a matching gift program. If they are unsure, have them inquire with their company’s HR department. Matching gifts can double a donation and they count toward troop and service unit Annual Fund goals. Make sure you inform Fund Development that the matching gift is coming so that they can properly credit the gift to your service unit or troop by emailing annualfund@gsgatl.org. Volunteer Service Grants Many large corporations will provide grants to non-pro�ts where their employees volunteer. Like the matching gifts program, the employee should check with the company’s Human Resources department to �nd out if the company does o�er such grants. If it does, the employee should request a copy of the volunteer service grant application form, complete it, and return it to their employer. Up to $250 of the grant can go back to the troop or service unit and the remainder counts toward your Annual Fund goal. Volunteer Essentials 85
