When we think about the future of work, we see Black women in the boardroom, starting businesses, and leading the next tech revolution.
The Girl Ambassador Program (GAP) is designed to prepare Black girls with essential hybrid skills, leadership training, and professional readiness, empowering them to secure higher-paying jobs and leadership opportunities. Through a comprehensive, tiered approach, participants gain personalized instruction, mentorship from thought leaders, and exposure to job readiness, networking, and financial literacy.
High school seniors who have participated in the program for at least two consecutive years are eligible for residential internships and college scholarships. These opportunities support their continued education and foster long-term relationships critical to their success and growth.

** Virginia Neighborhood Assistance Credits
------------------------------------------------------------
Girls For A Change is an approved non-profit organization for the 2024-2025
Virginia Neighborhood Assistance Program (NAP). For a minimum gift of $500, an individual donor may be eligible to receive a 65% tax credit against his or her Virginia state income tax. The maximum allowable individual gift is $125,000. For businesses: $616 is the minimum donation eligible for tax credits in their taxable year. There is no maximum donation limitation for businesses.
Unlike a tax deduction, a tax credit reduces a donor’s tax bill dollar-for-dollar. For example, a $2,000 donation to Girls For A Change using this program would generate $1,300 in tax credits, so the donation would only “cost” the donor $700. When the tax credits are combined with the federal charitable deduction, the donation “cost” lowers even further.
To learn how to make a NAP Tax credit gift, please email Dani Brown at
[email protected] or call (804) 405-2827
Please consult your financial advisor before making a donation, as we are not authorized to offer tax advice.
