Not everyone wants to commit to making a gift in their wills or estates. Some prefer the increased flexibility that a beneficiary designation provides by using:
It is very simple to name a Girl Scout organization as a beneficiary. Start by requesting a change-of-beneficiary form from your policy administrator or download the form from your provider's website. Make your desired changes and return the form to establish your gift.
Certain assets, such as an IRA, 401(k), and life insurance policy, are not included in your will! These are called non-probate assets, and beneficiaries for these assets must be planned for separately. Using this online tool, you can organize your assets and even name Girl Scouts as a beneficiary of one or more to further support the next generation of girls.

Robert and Carol treasure the financial help they’ve been able to give their children and Girl Scouts over the years. The couple recently updated their will to leave stocks and real estate to their kids. They left Girl Scouts a $75,000 IRA to be transferred following their lifetime. Because Girl Scouts is tax-exempt, all $75,000 will help support our mission.
If Robert and Carol had left the IRA to their children, approximately $18,000* would have gone to pay federal income taxes—leaving only $57,000 for their family’s use. Robert and Carol are happy knowing they are making the most of their hard-earned money thanks to their updated estate plan.
