Overview

Mission

To equip Bold Girls Collective with the tools, confidence, and community they need to thrive — emotionally, socially, and personally.

What it reported doing in 2025

Sisterhood Saturday Cohorts are community-based workshops that run Saturdays from 12:00 Pm - 2:00 Pm. These workshops take place in the Fall, Winter, and Spring (6 week cohorts). The target audience is K-8th grade. This seasonal programming provides a safe space for girls to connect and grow. Thematic sessions focus on identity leadership, and well-being. Key features consists of small group peer support, culturally inclusive mentorship, and activities such as journaling, affirmation-building, and creative expression. Sample topics include self-worth, healthy friendships, goal-setting, mental health awareness, and navigating social pressures.

Operating model

Revenue model
Grant-funded. 82% of the money available for current operations came from government grants.
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 - The filed numbers largely add up and most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of total spending goes to programs and fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised.
