Regarding some research on best practices for girls' programs:
The Three Guineas Fund located in San Francisco just issued two wonderful
reports about strengthening programs that fund girls' issues. Check out
http://www.3gf.org/links.html for a copy of "Girls as Grantmakers Network:
Profiles of Six Innovative Programs," and "Improving Philanthropy for
Girls'
Programs." Three Guineas has also been instrumental in organizing a
national network of foundations that operate girls as grantmaker programs.
Bess Bendet (at Three Guineas) and the members of the network would be a
great resource for you or others hoping to include girls in a funds
allocation process---which is pretty crucial if you plan to fund girls'
programs.
Also, about two years ago the National Council for Research on Women (NCRW)
issued "The Girls Report: What We Know & Need to Know About Growing Up
Female." The report gives a comprehensive overview of "girls' issues" and
example programs that have contributed to girls' successes. www.ncrw.org
