How can I volunteer to join the Board or help on a Board Committee?
We are annually looking to bring in new perspectives to Board Membership and more often, almost monthly, to support a variety of board committee efforts! Please contact (email) the respective Committee Chair for the area in which you're interested in volunteering or to the Board President if you're interested in future Board consideration.
What is the best way to donate?
There are so many ways to donate your money, and just as many ways to contribute your time to support our mission. Find information on donations at the donate page on this site and read the question above for information to volunteer! And, thanks for asking!
What is the goal for the GSDF's 2022-2024 Capital Campaign?
The first ever GSDF Capital Campaign kicked off with a Golf tournament in August 2022 with the goal to allocate all funds toward the renovation of the Girard High School Swimming pool.
Can GSDF ask corporate sponsors and donors for contributions at one time annually for all the causes it can support vs. asking for multiple donations throughout the year?
The GSDF recognizes it cannot do its work without the generous contributions of corporate national, regional, and local sponsors. Board members and the Fundraising Committee members plan to make a concentrated effort to limit sponsorship/ donation requests annually and package funding options at one time to help support the company's best contribution decisions. Thank you for your patience as we work to implement this in 2023.
Can I include the GSDF in my own estate planning or designate GSDF to be the recipient of a Scholarship or Memorial fund for my late loved one?
That's a big YES to both. Please review the "Ways to Give" page on this site that explains both options and more. And thank you☺
