Program
In 2024, girls quest continued its mission of delivering engaging and fun camp activities at camp oh neh tah in east windham, new york. The 2024 session represented a new chapter with alum j green taking the helm as camp director. We increased the number of campers to almost 50 and survived a lengthy power outage along with more rain than usual. Notwithstanding that, the girls enjoyed all their activities, especially those involving the dining hall where we had two fabulous chefs doing scratch cooking for all of the campers and the staff. Archery, crafts and other daily festivities also kept the girls entertained.our sisters in camping from camp sojourner girls' leadership camp in philadelphia returned in 2024 and enjoyed a successful session as well.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2021 to 2022, from $3.4M to $3.1M (−9%).

81% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund GIRL'S VACATION FUND INC DBA GIRLS QUEST.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2019 100% · 2020 95% · 2021 73% · 2022 83% · 2023 91% — diversifying over time.

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $16k arriving through sponsors registered in 2 states is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been.
