What do donations and sponsorships fund?
Girl with Grit is proud to direct all donations into programming costs and scholarships for Girl with Grit.
Donations and Sponsorships allow us to provide opportunities to those that need it most. The scholarships that these donations or sponsorships fund prioritize underserved or marginalized girls that are often in the foster care system or in group or trafficked homes. We also provide merit scholarships to ANY girl desiring our Girl with Grit Certification.
Based on data collected since our inception in 2020, close to 70% of our population are underserved, traditionally disadvantaged or marginalized populations.
Donations are fully tax-deductible as allowed by law.
The need is simple, knowing these skills can help save a life.

Our Advocacy
The mission of Girl with Grit is to close gaps in skills through accessible hands-on educational programming and advocacy.
Girl with Grit believes that introducing a variety of skills quickly, from changing tires to building birdhouses, from tools to outdoor safety, from financial literacy to home emergencies with a touch of hands-on DIY and a sprinkle of creativity – can grow independence and confidence.
We believe the skills we teach will open doors for girls and close gaps. We advocate for girls entering the workforce in areas like the skilled trades or entering hobbies like wilderness recreation – where their presence is low. We believe in equal chances and know it takes grit to get there.
Girl with Grit has been in multiple publications and on various podcasts and was featured in the cover story “Girl Power” in the San Antonio Business Journal, in a feature article in San Antonio Express News. Girl with Grit was also recognized by San Antonio Mayor Nirenberg and nominated as Best Nonprofit in Boerne, TX.
Thanks to our sponsors, our grassroots advocacy is now as far as the Chicago Build Expo and in Washington D.C. with the Department of Labor Women’s Bureau and the Department of Education.
