One local Texas chapter received a $4.2 million donation!
The CEO, Sofia Chang, of the 110-year-old organization said Tuesday, Oct. 18, 2022, that her support of the organization means as much to them as the donation itself. The funds will help the organization recover from the impact of the pandemic, which drove down its membership. – Philanthropist MacKenzie Scott donated $84.5 million to Girl Scouts of the USA and 29 of its local branches, the 110-year-old organization said Tuesday, calling it a vote of confidence.
“Girl Scouts of Southwest Texas will continue to build girls of courage, confidence and character, who make the world a better place. We are grateful for our volunteers, donors and partners throughout the region who make our work possible,” GSST said in an email to KSAT. The gift accelerates their plan to hire more staff to reach most places in the seven counties they serve in under an hour and provide programming year-round. The council will also outfit a van as a mobile science and technology classroom, a project they have tried to fund for a year and a half.
