Programs
In fiscal year 2025 (ending September 30, 2025), Girl Scouts of West Central Florida (GSWCF) served 19,028 members (11,551 girls in grades K-12; 7517 adults/volunteers) across Citrus, Hernando, Hillsborough, Marion, Pasco, Pinellas, Polk, and Sumter counties. Our reach was impacted by Hurricanes Helene and Milton, which occurred at the peak of our membership recruitment season in Fall 2024. We estimated a loss of 1,000+ girls in Girl Scouts as a result of the timing of these storms and the impact within our communities preventing our school- and community-based recruitment strategies. This loss impacted our program revenue to include our entrepreneur programs (i.e., Fall Sweets & Treats Product Program and Cookies), our retail revenue and camp programs. Through the Girl Scout Leadership Experience-delivered in small, supportive troops and reinforced by council-wide programs-girls build confidence, character, and lifelong skills in an environment designed specifically for them. Girl Scout troops provide a powerful foundation for belonging, mentorship, and girl-led decision-making, while access to broader council programs expands each girl's opportunities to explore, lead, and…
$5,014,722 spent$7,095,877 earned by the program61% of program spendingGrant-funded Community Troops ensure that Girl Scouting is accessible to girls who could otherwise be left out. In fiscal year 2025, 2,289 girls-20% of GSWCF's membership-participated at no cost through troops intentionally placed in schools, community centers, parks and recreation centers, Boys & Girls Clubs, places of worship, and other centers in underserved areas. Philanthropic support removes financial barriers and provides consistent access to the full Girl Scout Leadership Experience, including badge work, the Cookie Program, and targeted social-emotional skill building. The return on this investment is measurable and meaningful. Girls in Community Troops demonstrate increased confidence, stronger communication and relationship skills, improved academic engagement, and fewer disciplinary incidents. Just as importantly, they gain trusted GSWCF staff mentors and a vision for their future. Funder support makes this life-changing access possible-ensuring that every girl, regardless of circumstance, can build the skills and support system she needs to thrive.

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.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2020 to 2021, from $14M to $21M (+45%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Government-grant reliance: 2017 8% · 2018 8% · 2019 8% · 2020 8% · 2021 18% · 2022 12% · 2023 4% · 2024 6%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.

12 of 55 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 46% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
From the IRS filings of Girl Scouts of West Central Florida Inc’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 55 funders by total. Association, not causation. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.

Girl Scouts of West Central Florida Inc leans on a few funders — its largest provides 38% of grant income and the top three 65%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
88% 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 Scouts of West Central Florida Inc.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 31% · 2018 43% · 2019 56% · 2020 16% · 2021 34% · 2022 83% · 2023 33% — growing more concentrated.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How long its funders stay
38% of Girl Scouts of West Central Florida Inc's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 47% give in more than one year at all.
Share of funders still giving k years after their first recorded grant, pooled across every acquisition cohort. A funder counts as retained in a year only if it made a grant that year. Measured to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving — a funder cannot be counted as lapsed in a year most filers have not reached.
Where its funders are
67% of Girl Scouts of West Central Florida Inc's grant income comes from Florida funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $2.4M arriving through sponsors registered in 11 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. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
