On April 24, 2010, Girls Giving Grants will award Austin Sunshine Camps with $5,700 to fund college visits for Leadership Students. 

G3 provides an unparalleled opportunity to learn about the power of collective philanthropy. Girls combine their $100 individual donations, review grant applications and award a single grant to a charitable organization annually.

G3’s members come from sixteen middle and high schools in the Austin area and membership is open to young women in grades 8 through 12.
