Together, we Build

Great Futures

Your Gift Is the Start of Something Life-Changing

Every child deserves a safe place to grow, dream, and discover who they can become. At Boys & Girls Clubs of Monterey County, we open doors to bright futures every single day — and it all begins with you.

Whether it’s a one-time donation, a recurring gift, or a legacy you’re building, your support powers the moments that shape lives — the meals after school, the mentor who listens, the first time coding a robot, the college acceptance letter.

There are so many ways to give. Let’s find the one that’s right for you.

Ways to Give

One-Time Gift

One act of generosity. A lifetime of impact.

When you give once, you ignite possibility for a child who needs it now. Your gift helps fuel critical programs in academics, leadership, health & wellness, arts, sports, and STEM — ensuring every kid has access to the tools and support to thrive. Make the gift in your name, or make it in honor or memory of someone who also cares deeply about future generations.

Monthly donors are the quiet heroes behind the scenes. Your steady support gives us the power to plan ahead, meet urgent needs, and show up for kids day after day. Becoming a monthly giver is simple — and deeply powerful. Simply click “recurring donation” when entering your gift details. Make it in your name, or make it in honor or memory of someone.

Corporate Matching Gifts

Double your impact. Zero extra cost.

Thousands of companies match employee donations — and many people don’t even realize it! If your employer participates, your gift could go twice as far in transforming young lives.
