A Gift That Continues Giving

Every day we write part of our story—a story that will become a legacy passed down to the next generation. If an important part of your life’s story is making a gift that continues giving, then there is no better way to honor that vision than to create a lasting legacy of generosity that will shape the future of generations to come. Your charitable gift will provide vital support for our organization as well as immediate or deferred tax benefits for you and your family. Every dollar invested in Boys & Girls Clubs returns $10.32 in economic benefits to individuals and society, so your contribution has the potential to influence the well-being of others far into the future.

One powerful way to make this lasting contribution is by including a gift in your will or trust. To help you get started, you can use FreeWill, a free online tool that guides you through creating your will or trust. It’s easy to use, accessible online, and can be completed in 20 minutes. You can use this resource on its own, or use it to document your wishes before finalizing your plans with an attorney.

Have you already included a gift in your will or trust? Please fill out this form to let us know! We would love to thank you for your generosity.

Another way to build your legacy with us is by naming Boys & Girls Clubs of America as a beneficiary of a non-probate asset, such as an IRA, 401(k), life-insurance policy, or any other assets not included in your will. FreeWill can also help you plan for all of these.
