30%. That’s the percentage of women recognized at an executive-level leadership position in Iowa—despite women making up nearly half of the state’s workforce. This gap is more than just a statistic; it’s a critical issue that needs urgent attention. Imagine your daughter, your niece, your granddaughter or your neighbor. She’s full of knowledge, skill and potential. Now imagine she is given the space to lead and develop her leadership skills. With Girl Scouts she could be the next Chief Financial Officer of Principal Financial, VP of Engineering at Pella Corp, or Chief Human Resources Officer at Cargill. Girl Scout alums are more likely than other women to: - Exhibit leadership attributes and hold more leadership roles - Attain higher levels of education and management positions at work Thanks to Karen & Tim Rieck, once we reach our $15,000 goal, an additional $10,000 gift will be unlocked to support our mission.

Did you know that over 50% of the Girl Scouts we serve each year come from under-resourced communities? Research shows that Girl Scouts consistently outperform their peers in academics, have higher aspirations for college, and aim for careers in STEM, business, and law. They also benefit from strong adult mentorship that helps them reach their goals. Our mission is to ensure that every girl, regardless of her background, has equal access to leadership opportunities, exciting adventures, and a pathway to success. Thanks to Karen & Tim Rieck, once we reach our $15,000 goal, an additional $10,000 gift will be unlocked to support our mission.
