General Gift Donation *
Gifts to the Boys & Girls Club of Providence benefit over 8,000 children and teens in various after-school, evenings and weekend activities in neighborhoods in which they live. It costs approximately $667 per year to provide programs and services to one youth. Programs like our Power Hour homework assistance program; Kids Café, serving over 101,000 meals annually; and our nationally-recognized SMART Moves, a drug and alcohol prevention program, are making a difference every day.
The Boys and Girls Clubs of Providence is proud of stewardship in effectively managing contributions from individuals, businesses and organizations. Last year, the Club spent about 4.5% of its budget on its fundraising. For every dollar spent on fundraising, we generate four additional dollars in cash and in-kind contributions. For every dollar donated, 86.9 cents is spent directly on programs for kids. For more financial information, view our Annual Report.

Gifts that Last a Lifetime
Gifts through wills and living trusts.
A bequest is the most traditional way to provide important help for future generations of youth. With a gift through your will or living trust you retain full use of your gift property during your life.
Life Insurance.
You can name the Boys & Girls Club of Santa Ana as the beneficiary of your life insurance. Such a gift may entitle you to an income tax deduction.
Benefits from IRAs and Pension Funds.
Your estate can save both income taxes and estate taxes if you make the Boys & Girls Club of Santa Ana the beneficiary of your IRA or other retirement savings plan.
Make a “temporary” gift of cash or income-producing property.
This type of gift lets the Boys & Girls Club “borrow” income-producing assets for several years (through a charitable lead trust), with the assets later passing to children or grandchildren. This can reduce income taxes and future gift taxes, estate taxes and generation-skipping transfer taxes.

* Note: Cash, check or credit card gifts are the simplest and most direct way to benefit a youth today and receive a tax deduction.
