The Juliette Low Society

You are invited to ensure the future of Girl Scouting in the Nation's Capital by joining the Juliette Low Society today. By including GSCNC in your estate plan, you can help pave the way for millions of girls to walk in the footsteps of those girls Juliette Low gathered together in 1912.

Since GSCNC is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, a bequest allows a donor to pass any amount to GSCNC free of estate taxes. You can specify the dollar amount or any percentage of your estate to be donated with or without restrictions.

There are several ways that you can qualify for membership in this special group. Giving levels may vary depending on your chosen method:

• Include GSCNC in your will, thereby directing a portion of the assets or residuary balance to GSCNC;
• Name GSCNC as owner or beneficiary of a new or existing life insurance policy;
• Include GSCNC in a charitable trust, gift annuity, or pooled income fund;
• Make an outright gift of $10,000 or more in cash, securities, personal property, land or other real estate to GSCNC's endowment fund.

In the early days of Girl Scouting, Juliette Low sold her family pearls to cover rent for the first national Girl Scout office. A beautiful silver trefoil pin with a pearl center will commemorate your membership in the Juliette Low Society. Additionally, you will be included in an investiture ceremony and will be invited to attend the annual dinner of Society members at the Four Seasons Hotel in Georgetown.

GSCNC publishes Girl Scouting, a quarterly newsletter that addresses the importance of planned giving, provides financial management tips and profiles members of the Juliette Low Society. To receive the most recent edition of Girl Scouting, download the PDF version or contact our Fund Devolpment Department at 202-237-1670.

To learn more about the Juliette Low Society and how you can join, please contact Sharon Gleason, Director of Development at 202-237-1670, extension 230.
