Overview
Mission
Girl scouts of san gorgonio council, the premier female leadership development movement for girls ages 5 through 18, serves riverside and san bernardino counties with volunteer-driven programs and experiences that instill courage, confidence and character..
What it reported doing in 2024
Program for girls: the council is dedicated to contemporary, multi-cultural, enriching experiences for girls. A well-established educational program that helps girls develop qualities of leadership, values, social conscience, and conviction about their self-worth that will serve them all their lives. In partnership with over 1,700 committed adult volunteers, the council serves over 5,500 girls in riverside and san bernardino 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.
The verdict
SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Few specific pay-setting methods are documented in the filing; unanswered boxes are not proof of absence and fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised.
