Determined Optimists: Renew your membership!

Creating equality through community.

Determined Optimists — it’s time to renew your 2023 membership! With your gift, you’ll continue to be a part of the Determined Optimist community that’s working together to create a better future for girls and young women.

PLUS, A LIMITED-TIME GIFT! It’s not your typical tote bag or tee shirt. We know members like you want to make the greatest impact for the girls and families we work with. You want your donations to be used in the most generous way possible.

So, when you add just $6 to your membership gift by May 1 (for a donation of $103.50) we’ll also hand-deliver a toy to a child in need! A girl or boy in one of our program areas will receive either a bag with markers, farm animal memory game, mini kite, scratchpad or paint set and feel the joy of childhood during difficult times.

Your membership payment will help sustain our critical work for girls’ rights across the world. Please make your gift today to help us reach the girls who need us most this year!

 

Choose your amount:

When you make your annual membership gift in support of Plan’s work, you become a Determined Optimist and join an exclusive group of supporters that’s creating equality through community.

There will always be new challenges, but with the spirit of determined optimism, we take action knowing that together, we can achieve an equal future for girls and young women — and for everyone.
