Program Grants

GSCNC Program Grants

Here at GSCNC, we believe that no girl should be held back in Girl Scouting because of her financial situation. Need-based Program Grants help individuals participate in approved Girl Scout activities and trips. Troop Loans help groups participate in activities when funds are not yet available at the time payment (ex: waiting for cookie money to come in.)

Please Remember:

When submitting a Program Grants Request to include the itenerary and cost breakdown of the event
Program Grants Panel does not issue reimbursements for any activities
Incomplete requests will result in a delay in processing.

The Program Grants Panel meets on the third Monday of each month at the GSCNC DC Office.
