The Jessie Ball duPont Fund
The Jessie Ball duPont Fund has been a longtime supporter of Girl Scouts, partnering in environmental, outdoor, STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math), and other programs for girls and training for adults.
Through the Jessie Ball duPont Fund's support of the Edith Macy Scholarship Endowment Fund, Girl Scout volunteers and staff have the opportunity to travel from across the country and around the world to attend Girl Scouts' own "university in the woods" at Edith Macy Conference Center and John J. Creedon Education Center in Briarcliff Manor, New York.
The Edith Macy Conference Center complex is the site of skill-enhancement courses for Girl Scout national and local staff and volunteers. Participants learn job-training skills or further their professional development at high-level management programs. Participants return to their work with new skills and knowledge and a renewed commitment. Through the support of the Jessie Ball duPont Fund, scholarships enable participants to better serve the Girl Scout population at home and abroad.
