Girl Scouts welcomed a gift of $17,500 from the Max and Helen Guernsey Charitable Foundation to support the Girl Scout experience!
“It takes time, dedication, and the support of our community to make these life-changing experiences possible for girls,” says Diane Nelson, CEO of Girl Scouts of Eastern Iowa and Western Illinois. “Without generous partners like the Max and Helen Guernsey Charitable Foundation, we couldn’t fulfill our mission to build girls of courage, confidence, and character.”
Thanks to the generous support of the Max and Helen Guernsey Charitable Foundation, Girl Scouts is delivering a powerful, all-girl program that builds leadership, life skills, and self-confidence in a safe and supportive environment. This year alone, more than 2,300 girls in the Waterloo area will grow in courage, confidence, and character through a wide range of experiences—from council events and troop activities to product sales and outdoor adventures. With the Foundation’s continued investment, we’re able to ensure that every girl has access to the Girl Scout experience, regardless of the obstacles she may face.
