Endowment Fund

The Boys & Girls Club of Laguna Madre established an Endowment Fund for future operations to guarantee that children will continue to benefit from youth development programs. The current endowment fund goal is $1,000,000. Please contribute generously and invest in our children’s future.

Annual Fund (It Just Takes One Campaign):

Provide individual unrestricted gifts for current year operations.  This will be an annual campaign geared to provide an avenue to individuals to give annually.  We appreciate your support and consideration.  Gifts of $10,000 will receive special BGCA recognition through the Milbank Society.  Show you care, give when you can.

Giving Through Your Will:

A specific dollar amount, specific asset, or percentage of an estate may be specified in a donor's will or trust to be paid to the Boys & Girls Clubs.

Giving Appreciated Assets:

A charitable deduction for both income tax and capital gains tax can be taken based on the fair market value of the stock at the time your gift is made. Gifts of low-basis stock can produce larger charitable deductions. A gift of closely-held stock can allow the donor to maintain control of the corporation while still claiming both capital gains and income tax deductions. A gift of appreciated real property will allow the donor to avoid capital gains tax as well as brokerage fees and closing costs.

Giving Life Insurance:

New or current life insurance policies may be transferred or irrevocably assigned to the Boys & Girls Clubs as beneficiary; or a donor can retain ownership of a policy, pay the premium and simply name the Boys & Girls Clubs as the beneficiary. Both have substantial tax benefits to the donor and the donor's estate.

Gift Annuity and Pooled Income Fund:

These vehicles are a legal agreement to transfer money or securities to the Boys & Girls Clubs. The donor receives fixed payments for life based on his or her age, prevailing interest rates and an actuarial table, as well as an income tax deduction for the donated asset value.

Charitable Remainder Trust:

A significant donation can be structured in a trust as either a lifetime income for one or more beneficiaries, with the income going to the Boys & Girls Clubs, or with the lifetime income going to the Boys & Girls Clubs and the remainder going to the beneficiaries. Trusts can be designed to meet individual needs of the donor to provide savings on income, capital gains and estate taxes.
