BECOME A G3 MEMBER
​
​
Members of Girls Giving Grants are girls in grades 8-12 who have an interest in making a difference and learning all about the community and philanthropy. They come from all over Central Texas and meet together, every other week for the school year, to make a gift of one collective grant to a youth serving nonprofit. Learn more about past g3 grant recipients here.

MEMBERSHIP FEE
The g3 membership contribution is $125 ($100 directly to the grant and $25 for g3 program materials and administration). Members pool their contributions to create a meaningful annual grant that goes to a local nonprofit chosen by g3.
Scholarships and sponsorships are available for eligible participants for whom the full $125 contribution would be a hardship.
Contact us at g3@impactaustin.org for more information about membership and scholarship/sponsorship opportunities.
​
​
TIME COMMITMENT
g3 participants commit to participate September through April, when the grant to benefit a local nonprofit is voted on and announced. The group meets approximately 12 times throughout the school year on Sunday afternoons, from 3 to 5 PM.
​
Through participation in g3, members may be eligible to earn up to 30 hours of community service credit (check with your school for credit acceptance).

​
G3 LEADERS SPEAK OUT
​
Each class of Girls Giving Grants is a diverse group of 60-90 young women from about 20 Austin-area schools.
Members graduate with new perspectives on community service, philanthropy, and how they will make a difference.

g3 has taught me the meaning of leadership, the importance of taking initiative, and the confidence to believe in myself. g3 has shown me how to give back to my community in ways I never imagined and introduced me to the power of collective giving.

My four years at g3 have been some of the most rewarding of my life. They've taught me to be a leader, informed me about the needs facing my community, and allowed me to encounter perspectives that differ from my own.
Meredith M., 2024-2025 g3 President
Membership in g3 has made me aware of the range of needs in the community, from beds for foster kids to therapy sessions for survivors of trauma. This understanding built me into someone that genuinely cares about helping others in the community.
