As a corporate funding partner of Girl Scouts of North East Ohio (GSNEO), you’ll be making a direct impact on the quality of Girl Scouting and the opportunities available to Girl Scouts by providing sustaining support to our programs.
Specialized Patch Program
Together with GSNEO staff, Corporate Partners have the unique opportunity to co-design and brand Girl Scout patches and curricula around topics that are of importance to them and that align with the Girl Scout Leadership Experience’s four educational pillars: STEM, Life Skills, Entrepreneurship, and the Outdoors. More than 18,000 Girl Scouts from all over Northeast Ohio have the opportunity to complete the activities associated with each new Patch Program and proudly wear their newly earned patch on their Girl Scout uniform.
For our specialized patch programming, we have two options available to our partners:
- One-year, $25,000 investment
- Two-year, $50,000 investment
The investment into the specialized patch program accounts for program staff time to collaborate directly with you to create custom curriculum, as well as the design and creation of the patch for the program.
Year-Long Program Sponsor
As a Year-Long Program Sponsor of GSNEO, your investment ensures that Girl Scouts across Northeast Ohio have access to enriching experiences, skill-building activities, and opportunities for personal growth. Packages range from a $5,000-100,000 yearly investment.
Our year-long sponsorship packages include a variety of benefits that may* include:

*The above benefits are not guaranteed for all sponsorship levels. Please refer to our Year-Long Sponsorship Information Packet for sponsorship level benefits breakdown chart.
Girl Scout Leadership Experience Pillar Sponsor
The Girl Scout Leadership Experience (GSLE) provides the foundation for all we do. It is the core of our program and encompasses everything from the Girl Scout Promise and Law to our badges, activities, and Journeys. At Girl Scouts, everything centers around the girl—it’s what makes Girl Scouts truly unique. With a focus on girl-led programming and activities, girls have the opportunity to take on leadership roles and learn-by-doing in a safe, fun, and cooperative environment.
Girl Scouts who take part in activities from the four program pillars – STEM, Outdoors, Entrepreneurship, and Life Skills – gain opportunities to try new things by working together and learning through hands-on activities.
Becoming a GSLE Pillar Sponsor will directly support programing costs associated with running pillar-related activities and curriculum throughout the membership year. The sponsorship starts at a $10,000 investment and can be designated towards one or more of the GSLE pillars.
Girl Champion Sponsor
At Girl Scouts, we strive to say “yes” to every girl because every girl has the power to change the world. Just as there is more than one way to be a leader, there is more than one way to be a Girl Scout. By collaborating with local organizations, GSNEO offers staff-led troops that meet Girl Scouts where they are: at schools, housing developments, libraries, and clubs. Staff-led troops are provided at no cost to participants and hosted in areas of our community where the majority of Girl Scouts are from under-resourced and low-income families. Ensuring equal access to Girl Scouts and enabling Girl Scouts to explore STEM, financial literacy, healthy living, and the outdoors is essential and cannot be done without our corporate and foundation support.
