Giving Day is September 30th. Help us unlock our $10,000 Matching Gift!

Today your donation will be matched up to $10,000 by our Matching Gift Champions Anna Reilly and Wendy Brenner. 

Make sure your friends know that you support LEAD Girls and that their gifts will be matched through Giving Day on September 30. Together, you make our work possible.

This is why your support is crucial to our mission.

Our partner schools, where we provide essential programming, have recently faced significant funding cuts. Despite these challenges, we are committed to sustaining our current programs and ensuring that the positive impact on our girls continues. For instance, at Mineral Springs, 50% more girls reported feeling happy most of the time and excelling in school after participating in our program. This is the kind of meaningful change we strive for each day.

To maintain this momentum and continue serving the 353 girls we reached in 2023, we need your help. Your support will enable us to:

  • Sustain our presence in 9 partner Title-I schools, 3 cottages at Crossnore, and the Community LEAD program.
  • Supplement the lost funding and ensure our programs remain robust, effective, and provide essential resources such as feminine products.
  • Preserve our inclusive and supportive environment so that no girl is left without the support she needs.

As we face new challenges and opportunities, your support remains vital to our success and to the girls who depend on us.
