Many Ways to
Give
There are many ways to give. Gifts can be made:
Online
Through our secure
online donation
service, donations can be made to our Council or to specific
Tribute Funds.
By Mail
Contributions can be made by mailing a check along with a
contribution form or a letter outlining the purpose of the gift to:
Girl Scout Council of Colonial Coast Fund Development 912 Cedar Road Chesapeake, VA 23322
By Fax
You can also print, complete and fax a
contribution form directly to the Girl Scout Council of Colonial Coast at (757) 547-1872.
Family Partnership
Make a contribution to the Family Partnership. Your
gift helps offset the cost of offering our
Girl Scout Leadership Development
Program to one girl for one year in the Girl Scout
Council of Colonial Coast. We require no other fees other than $10 for registration. Girls have boundless
opportunities to develop the life skills they
will use as adults in Girl Scouting.
Through annual giving you can make
the choice to give $25, $50, $100,
$365 (a dollar a day) or more. The
average cost to serve a girl in our
Council per year is approximately
$225. We don’t have set fees like
other organizations, so please use
this opportunity to give what you
can.
Matching Gifts
Many employees take part in Matching
Gift Programs – your donation of
time or money can sometimes be
doubled at no cost to you! Contact
your company’s human resources
department to find out if your
company participates. If so,
complete the employee portion of the
Matching Gift form supplied by your
employer. Send your contribution and
the completed form to the Girl Scout
Council of Colonial Coast and we’ll
take care of the rest. Now you’ve
doubled your donation!
Some of the companies who have
matched employee gift donations in
the past have been:
Anheuser Busch Companies Avon
Bank of America Geico Grainger
Home Depot Household Credit
K-Mart Landmark Lowe’s

Naval Shipyard Norshipco

Remembering Evelyn Schmidt

(from
left to right: Linda Sue Aten;
Evelyn Schmidt)
It takes a special person to be
labeled as a “legend,” but those
who knew Evelyn Schmidt say
that’s just what she’ll always
be. She was a dedicated
volunteer who always had her
mind on the safety and
well-being of the girls she led.
She had her hand in grooming
some of our finest current Girl
Scout employees. Her memory will
live on in the lives of those
she’s taught. Evelyn Schmidt
passed away on December 21,
2007. She will be sorely missed
by all who knew and loved her.
It was one of her wishes that
donations be made in her memory
to the Girl Scout Council of
Colonial Coast. You can make
your donation by filling out
this
Contribution Form.
The money donated will go to
Girl Scouts throughout the
council.
Thank you!
