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.

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


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.

How You Can Help

To become a member, simply notify the council of your donation. We understand your will is a confidential document. The council does not need to know the amount of your bequest or other planned gift. A planned gift to the Girl Scouts of the Jersey Shore can offer you many advantages, which may include estate or income tax benefits; variable or fixed income for your life or the life of someone you care about; capital gains savings, and the satisfaction of leaving behind a legacy that will ultimately benefit thousands of girls in Monmouth and Ocean counties.

Check with your attorney on the exact wording of your bequest or gift. Your attorney and/or financial advisor should be contacted for professional advice. The following information should be shared with your attorney, bank trust officer or other financial advisor. In official documents, please use: Girl Scouts of the Jersey Shore, Inc. We are a non-profit corporation of the State of New Jersey, having its principal office at 242 Adelphia Road, Farmingdale, NJ 07727.

For assistance and more information about joining the Juliette Gordon Low Society, please contact us at (732) 349-4499.
