About Girls
Girls Inc. grantmaking is built around affiliate support: the largest recent awards go to local Girls Inc. organizations for pass-through support, travel reimbursement, and training. That pattern shows a national network funder rather than a foundation making isolated project grants. In the recent grants list, Girls Incorporated of Greater Atlanta received $994,829 in 2023, and Girls Incorporated of Greater Indianapolis received $431,898 in 2023, with another $352,929 grant to the Indianapolis affiliate in 2024 and $276,555 in 2025. The St. Louis affiliate also appears repeatedly, including awards of $414,981 in 2023 and $233,929 in 2024. These recurring grants indicate ongoing support for affiliate operations and staff development rather than one-time program bets. The foundation’s existing focus areas align with that structure: youth development, mentorship, leadership development, advocacy and policy, education and college/career readiness, character development, and STEM and financial literacy programming. One named recent grant also points to a place-based expansion effort in California, where Girls Inc. of Orange County received support tied to LA program expansion.
What Girls Funds
Girls Inc. backs affiliate network strengthening through pass-through grants that cover travel and training. Girls Incorporated of Greater Philadelphia & Southern NJ received $333,441 in 2023 and $297,993 in 2024 for travel reimbursement and training, showing sustained support for affiliate staff development. A similar pattern appears in Indianapolis, where the local affiliate was funded across 2023, 2024, and 2025 for the same purposes. The foundation also supports program expansion. Girls Inc. of Orange County received $321,103 in 2023 and $205,358 in 2025, both linked to travel reimbursement, training, and LA program expansion. Within the network, Girls Inc. funds chapter-level work tied to local service delivery. Girls Inc of Shelbyville & Shelby Co received $255,179 in 2023 and $221,575 in 2024, with another $207,895 in 2025, again for travel reimbursement and training. The pattern fits capacity building more than discrete project funding.
How Girls Gives
Girls Inc. gives at a wide range of sizes, with a typical grant of $13,920 at the 25th percentile, a median of $56,867, and $122,506 at the 75th percentile. The recent grants list shows repeated awards to the same affiliates across 2023, 2024, and 2025, so the foundation’s support is often recurring rather than one-off. Its structure is that of a regular funder, not a DAF or program-related-investment vehicle, and the grants are largely restricted to travel reimbursement and training, with some support tied to program expansion. The pattern is consistent with affiliate and operational support inside a national network.
