Ask yourself the question:
"What has my daughter
learned or how has she benefited from Girl Scouts?"*
WHAT IS FAMILY GIVING?
Family Investment:
Family Giving is a way
for parents and adult Girl Scouts to tangibly express their belief
in the value of Girl Scouting through their financial support to
their local Girl Scout Council. The $10 registration fee does not
stay within the Council, it goes to National Headquarters. Family
Giving gives families the opportunity to support the services and
facilities within our local Council.
Internal Support/Adult
Giving:
Family Giving is a
donation from adults or by families. It is not a girl fundraising
activity or money earning opportunity. All families need to be given
the opportunity to donate to our Council. It is the role of the
Family Giving Coordinator to train Girl Scout Leaders about Family
Giving and the importance of asking their families to participate.
Goal for the Council:
Each VISTA is asked to
set a goal for VISTA donations for Family Giving. Work with your
Service Team to set this goal. VISTAs working in partnership with
the Council can make this goal a reality.
