Important Clarification Regarding Girls Inc. of Alameda County

March 2026

We are sharing an important clarification regarding recent news coverage involving our neighboring affiliate, Girls Inc. of Island City (headquartered in Alameda).

While we recognize that this is a difficult time for a fellow youth-serving organization, it is important to clarify that this situation does not involve Girls Inc. of Alameda County.

Although we are both affiliates of the Girls Inc. national network, our organization is a separate nonprofit 501(c)(3) with its own leadership and financial stewardship. We are headquartered in Oakland and serve youth across Alameda County and other parts of the East Bay, and we do not operate programs in the City of Alameda.

Confusion can sometimes arise due to similarities in organizational names and geographies, and we are actively working to ensure that accurate distinctions are communicated.

Girls Inc. of Alameda County remains committed to the highest standards of financial stewardship, transparency, and accountability. Our organization maintains strong financial controls by distributing financial responsibilities across multiple individuals and implementing clear, controlled disbursement processes. Financial performance is reviewed monthly by leadership and the Board Finance Committee, and we undergo an annual independent audit conducted by a third party. These practices are guided by well-documented policies and procedures that ensure transparency, accountability, and responsible stewardship.

We deeply value the trust you place in our work and in the young people we serve.
