Atlanta (June 25, 2026) – Girl Scouts of Greater Atlanta announced today the launch of its second annual Green Tie Guys campaign, rallying Atlanta business and civic leaders to invest in the future success of Atlanta-area girls by serving as donors, advocates, and visible allies. The 2026 fundraising campaign runs from June 25 through Sept. 24, with a goal of recruiting 25 Green Tie Guys, each committing to raise or contribute $3,000, for a total campaign goal of $55,000+.
Today, girl-serving organizations receive less than 3% of all charitable giving in the United States. Green Tie Guys was created to help close that gap by mobilizing men as champions for girls and ensuring more young women have access to leadership development opportunities. The campaign supports Girl Scouts of Greater Atlanta’s work to prepare girls for a lifetime of leadership through programs, financial aid, and experiences that help girls build courage, confidence, and character.
The 2026 Green Tie Guys cohort includes:
New this year, Girl Scouts of Greater Atlanta is establishing the Green Tie Guys Founding Circle to recognize the 33 men who helped launch the initiative from the 2025 and 2026 cohorts. As charter members of the program, these leaders are helping build a legacy of support that will strengthen opportunities for girls across metro Atlanta for years to come. The inaugural Green Tie Guys campaign brought together 17 participants.
"Green Tie Guys invites men in our community to do more than show up. It challenges them to step up," said Jai Ferrell, CEO of Girl Scouts of Greater Atlanta. "By investing in girls today, these leaders are helping create a future where more young women have the confidence, skills, and opportunities to lead."

Supporters can contribute to the 2026 Green Tie Guys campaign online through a tax-deductible, one-time or recurring donation. Individuals can also support the campaign by donating through a Green Tie Guy’s personal fundraising page or sharing the campaign with their networks.
