Overview

Mission

Girl Scouts of Central California South, Inc. is the largest girl leadership development organization in the Central Valley. Our mission is to build girls of courage, confidence, and character who make the world a better place.

What it reported doing in 2024

Girl Scouts of Central California South, Inc. offers a broad array of programs around four core pillars: entrepreneurship, life skills, STEM, and outdoors. We serve nearly 9,000 girls in the Central Valley with approximately 3,000 volunteers throughout the Fresno, Madera, Kings, Tulare and Kern Counties.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
  • Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and expenses are high relative to revenue.
