About GEMS Global

GEMS Global (operating as GEMS Girls' Clubs) is a long-established Christian discipleship ministry headquartered in the Grand Rapids / Wyoming, Michigan area that partners with churches to mentor girls in grades 1–8. Research confirms the EIN 92-1864458 is assigned to this organization (listed in nonprofit filing databases and organizational profiles) and the organization is a registered 501(c)(3) conducting donor-facing ministry and program work.

GEMS provides age‑appropriate curriculum, leader training, activity kits and digital resources to create recurring club-based mentoring environments where girls build relationships, engage with Scripture, and grow in faith. In recent years the organization has expanded digital outreach (including the ReFyne tween app and online leader resources), events such as Global GEMS Week and Leadership Summits, and productized offerings to support local club leaders and churches.

GEMS Global has shown rapid program and organizational growth since its recent federal recognition and filings: fiscal-year filings (fiscal years ending March) document material changes in revenues and program service activity between 2023 and 2025, reflecting an expansion of programs and fundraising to support national and international club work. The organization also holds third‑party recognition and membership with oversight standards commonly used by donors and churches.
