The Northwest Girls Coalition (NWGC) was formed in the winter of 1999 by a group of professionals working with organizations serving girls. The NWGC was formed so that organizations and individuals working with girls could meet, foster relationships and develop a support system. Within months of its founding, the Coalition grew to over 30 diverse members, and today we have a strong membership of individuals and organizations that share our vision.

Since its inception, the NWGC has maintained a commitment to providing quality educational programming and networking opportunities that bring members of the girl-serving community together. The Leadership Council of the NWGC actively works to achieve these goals by setting policy, defining the mission and goals, developing strategic plans, planning programs, and ensuring the viability of the Coalition.

In the past, NWGC has been sponsored by the Women’s Funding Alliance and Girl Scouts of Western Washington. In 2007, NWGC established their own 501(c)(3) non-profit status.
