Girl Scouts Refuse Donation with Transgender Limits, Raise $300,000

HeadlineJul 02, 2015

A Girl Scouts chapter in Western Washington has rejected a $100,000 donation because the donor said it couldn’t be used to help transgender girls. Using the hashtag “#ForEVERYGirl,” the Girl Scouts launched a crowdfunding campaign to recoup the donation they sent back. So far about 6,000 people have donated nearly $300,000, triple the original amount.
