Planned Giving

You believe in the power of Girl Scouts

Create your legacy with a planned gift

The first planned gift in the Girl Scout Movement came from our founder, Juliette Gordon Low. After converting the carriage house of her home into the first Girl Scout national headquarters, she gifted the property to Girl Scouts in her will. Carry on her legacy and make Girl Scouts a beneficiary of your estate plans when you become a member of the Juliette Gordon Low Society.

To help you get started on your plans and legacy, you can use FreeWill, an online tool that guides you through the process of creating your will or trust. It’s easy to use, accessible online, and can be completed in 20 minutes. You can use this resource on its own, or use it to document your wishes before finalizing your plans with an attorney.

Have you already included a gift in your will or trust? Please fill out this form to let us know! We would love to thank you for your generosity.

Making a planned gift to Girl Scouts can include naming Girl Scouts as the beneficiary of any of the following:

Will
Retirement plan
Charitable gift annuity
Living trust
Donor-advised fund
Life insurance policy
Charitable remainder trust
Charitable lead trust
Remainder gift of real estate
Any other gift that benefits Girl Scouts in the future

Designating us as a beneficiary of an asset that falls outside of your will (non-probate assets such as an IRA, 401(k), or life-insurance policy) is another way to build your legacy with the Girl Scouts of Greater Iowa. FreeWill can also help you plan for all of these.

As a Juliette Gordon Low Society member, you will be recognized as a member of the Society, receive invitations to special events hosted by Girl Scouts, get updates about the work of Girl Scouts, and know that your gift will impact girls for generations to come.
