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, you ignite possibility for a child who needs it today. Your generosity fuels critical programs in academics, leadership, health and wellness, arts, sports, and STEM—ensuring every young person has access to the tools, opportunities, and support they need to thrive.
Make a gift in your name, or give in honor or memory of someone who shares your commitment to future generations.
Your gift makes a difference—and may offer a tax benefit. Beginning in 2026, taxpayers who take the standard deduction may be eligible to deduct charitable cash contributions of up to $1,000 for single filers or $2,000 for married couples filing jointly. Qualifying cash contributions may include donations made by cash, check, debit or credit card, payroll deduction, electronic funds transfer, online payment services, or gift cards redeemable for cash. Please note that contributions to donor-advised funds (DAFs) are excluded from this deduction.

Monthly Giving
Real change takes consistency. That’s where you come in.
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.
Not sure if your company matches? We’ll help you check. Contact Andrew Vie at avie@bgcmc.org or call (831) 394-5171 ×212
Planned Giving
Your legacy. Their future.
When you include Boys & Girls Club in your will or estate plan, you're creating a powerful legacy that lives on through every child we serve. Whether it’s a bequest, a trust, or naming us as a beneficiary — your future gift helps ensure that every generation of youth has the support they need to thrive.
Options include:
Charitable bequests, retirement plans, and life insurance beneficiary designations allow you to leave a significant legacy without affecting your financial security today.
Charitable Gift Annuities and Charitable Remainder Annuity Trusts provide a way to support our mission while securing a steady income for yourself or loved ones.
Make a meaningful difference now with gifts of real estate, Donor Advised Funds, or appreciated assets like stocks, bonds, or mutual funds. These gifts provide critical support to our programs while maximizing your tax benefits and protecting your financial future.

In-Kind Donations
Not every gift comes in an envelope.
Have school supplies, sports gear, laptops, or professional services to share? In-kind donations are a vital part of how we deliver high-quality programs. You bring the tools — we’ll turn them into opportunities.

Every child deserves a champion.
Your gift doesn’t just support a Club — it supports possibility, dignity, and hope. Boys & Girls Clubs is often the one place where young people feel truly seen, supported, and safe. Your generosity makes that possible.
