The Juliette Gordon Low Society
The Juliette Gordon Low Society
was established to help ensure the financial stability of Girl Scouts of Western
Rivers Council. The Society presents a way for friends of the council to make
significant gifts to the Endowment Fund, thus ensuring that Girl Scouting will
be available for future generations of girls in western and central Oregon.
You are invited to become a member of the Juliette Gordon Low Society by
making a commitment to include the Girl Scout Endowment Fund in your giving
plans.
Gifts to the endowment fund are not spent on an annual basis, rather they are
invested for long term growth with the Oregon Community
Foundation and only the income earned from investments is spent each
year.
What a lasting gift! You can help provide the benefits of Girl Scouting for
all time. Please consider it now. A gift may be given in the name of someone
other than the donor.
Membership entitles you to:
 | recognition in the Annual Report |
| council newsletters about Girl Scout activities. |
Membership Qualifications:

thereby directing a portion of the assets or residuary balance to the Girl
Scout Council Endowment Fund. |

| Special needs includes activities, events, equipment, and/or
enrichment opportunities that are unknown or unforeseen at the time the council
budget is adopted and which will help advance the council mission of bringing
Girl Scout program to Every Girl Everywhere. |
| As many girls as possible should benefit. This could be done through an
event or activity, through the purchase of program equipment or it could be
through paying to train an adult or girl who would then share the information
and knowledge with others. |
| This will be a one-time award. If the project is on-going, future support
will have to come from other funding sources. |
| The funding will be used in the same program year in which it is awarded. |
Note: The money will not be awarded for camperships, as the
fund committee believes that there are adequate funding sources to meet that
need.
Process:
Applications will be accepted from registered Girl Scouts in the period of
January 1-20. Evaluations will be made and the award of funds will be
announced by February 28th.
| The application should includes the following information: |
| Name, address, and phone number of applicant. |
| What the amount of the request is, keeping in mind that typically the
amount available will be approximately $500. |
| How, where, and when the money will be spent. |
Applications are to be taken or mailed to the VEH/WCC fund Committee at
the Eugene service center and received not later than January 20th.
In the event no applications are received, the available funds will be
awarded at the discretion of the VEH/WCC fund committee and/or its
representative for a special need.
