Get Involved

There are many ways to support Girls at Work, Inc. And with over 90% of our girls needing full or partial scholarship support to participate in our programs, your support is very important to us…and more importantly, to the girls. Thanks to our generous supporters, we never turn any girls away. You truly have the power to empower them.

In addition to critical annual gifts, sponsorships, and scholarship giving, donors often ask about our future plans and our “wish list”. These items include: taking our woodworking builds “on the road” to middle schools so we can empower 500+ girls at a time; expanding the workshop space and adding instructors at our Manchester Millyard headquarters so we can expand programming to better meet the need; conducting a communications audit, then creating a more comprehensive and effective marketing and communications program; and expanding to other parts of New Hampshire…or maybe beyond.

Here are a few ways you can help empower the girls, and if you have any questions, feel free to call us at 603-345-0392 or drop us an email.

Sponsor the Girls

We offer annual sponsorship levels from $7,500 to $30,000. As we look to expand our program across NH and the country, we also offer expansion and sustaining sponsorships for those new sites, starting at $75,000. Our sponsorships allow you or your company to make one pledge for the year and be a sponsor of ALL our programs, events and activities and to use our space. Your sponsorship contribution will cover the program or camp fees for girls and families in need, so no girl is ever turned away. A couple of our annual sponsorship levels may be reviewed here, and we will gladly customize a package for you. Some levels offer team build opportunities for your employees.

Employer Matching Gifts

Double or triple your impact through a matching gift program, where an employer or company will match donations to charitable organizations. These matches are often dollar for dollar, which increases your charitable donation power and is a great way to maximize your personal contributions to Girls at Work, Inc. Click here to see if your company matches donations.

Donate Securities

Giving a gift of stock or mutual fund is an easy way to support us. Just as with cash gifts, you will receive a federal income tax donation for the full market value of any securities you donate, as long as you have owned them for at least one year. You may also avoid the capital gains taxes you would owe if you sold these securities. Please contact us prior to making a transfer so we can match the funds received to you, the donor. 

Donor Advised Fund Gifts

There are several benefits to making a gift to Girls at Work through donor advised funds (DAF’s). The funds are flexible, there is a low cost, you receive immediate and maximum tax benefits, it provides administrative convenience, and it also provides privacy.

Tribute & Memorial Gifts

If you want to honor a friend or a loved one, consider making a gift to Girls at Work in their honor. If you provide their contact information to us, we’ll gladly inform them that a gift has been made. “In Honor Of” and “In Memory Of” gifts can also be made online via our online giving form. If planning a funeral and considering us as a beneficiary for giving, here is suggested wording for use in an obituary: “In lieu of flowers, please make a gift in (name here)’s honor to Girls at Work, Inc. either online at www.girlswork.org/give, or by mailing a check to: Girls at Work, Inc., 200 Bedford Street, Manchester, NH 03101-1153.”

Planned Giving & Bequests

Create a lasting legacy with our tax-efficient strategies while helping Girls at Work, Inc. achieve its goals for current and future generations. If you are considering adding us to your will or trust, here is some draft language that may be helpful to you and your attorney: “I give, devise, and bequeath (describe dollar amount, property to be given or percentage of your residuary estate), to Girls at Work, Inc., a not for profit, 501 (c) (3) organization, located at 200 Bedford Street, Manchester, NH 03101-1153, to be used by said organization to meet the immediate or future needs of the organization, as determined by the Board of Directors of Girls at Work, Inc.” 

Real Estate & Life Estate Gifts

You may donate property or a residence, or a % of the residence, to Girls at Work, Inc. while retaining the right for you and/or a spouse to live in the house for life or until sold. You receive an immediate charitable income tax deduction for your ultimate gift to us and effectively remove the property, or a portion of the property, from your estate. Furthermore, a gift in the form of a retained life estate does not prevent you from relocating at a later point.

Life Insurance

Donors can name Girls at Work, Inc. as the beneficiary of their policy. 

Retirement Plans

Donors can name Girls at Work, Inc. as the beneficiary in whole or in part, or as a contingency beneficiary of a qualified retirement plan (IRA’s, 401k’s, 403b’s, and more).
