If we reflect on our life experiences, we’ll probably notice that leadership opportunities really began when we were young…that’s also when our most influential life lessons in leadership were learned.

So help GIRLS FOR A CHANGE and help girls take the leap and lead...

Congratulations to our Founder!

Women everywhere working together for the benefit of girls!  Join us #GFACfortheGIRLS

Dear Friend,

Our Board of Directors, staff, and volunteers would like to express our appreciation for your continued support.  Because of your consistent generosity toward improving the lives of girls, Girls For A Change is able to assist nearly 3,000 girls per year, replicate our flagship programs, and fulfill our mission of inspiring girls to have the voice, ability and problem solving capacity to speak up, be decision makers, create visionary change and realize their full potential.  This is truly an exciting time for Girls For A Change, and the excitement continues into the new year as we are working toward launching a new website and logo, opening new office space, and of course, expanding our services to reach more girls and to increase partnerships.  And it is with this in mind that I would like to present a special opportunity for both individuals and corporations to support those who work with girls.

In 2015, all Girls For A Change donors who give $100 or more will receive a purple wristband that reads "#GFACfortheGIRLS,” and your tax-deductible donation will not only support our flagship programs and services, but also a number of special collaboration projects among girl-focused non-profit organizations to include girl summits, international travel, and coalitions.  Organizations that serve girls often compete for the same dollars, and when one loses, our girls lose.  So we believe it is important that girl-centered organizations join together...to connect and collaborate rather than compete.  As we all have the same ultimate purpose of serving girls, we would like to lead the charge to support these organizations' individual missions in a collective manner.  By sharing our resources and working together, not only can we give our girls a true example of sisterhood and what true collaboration looks like, but we also become more powerful as a whole.

We look forward to keeping you updated on our various collaborative efforts with other girl-centered organizations and we hope you will follow us on social media.  Again, please donate today and remember that your gift of any size will support our #GFACfortheGIRLS campaign, as well as our programs and services.  Donors who give $100 or more will receive our special #GFACfortheGIRLS wristband that we encourage you to wear to help spread our message about women everywhere working together for the benefit of our girls.

May your year be filled with warmth and joy!

Sincerely,  Angela W. Patton  CEO, Girls For A Change
