Financial FAQ's
No! All Boys & Girls Clubs are independent 501(c)3 nonprofits that must raise 100% of their operating budget (for us, that means about $4 million annually). We pay a small membership fee to BGCA for branding, curriculum, and professional development.
Not quite! Though we greatly appreciate our municipal, state, federal, (combined 18% of our annual budget) and corporate support (12%).
We wish! While some Clubs do have large endowments, we have a small reserve account that is primarily used for major capital repairs and emergency expenses.
Not anymore! It’s true that until 1990, all Clubs were boys-only, a tradition that started in Hartford, CT, in 1860. Today, we welcome all. 45% of our young people identify as girls and over 450 are teens!
Walk through our doors any day of the week, and you will see 550+ K-12 youth. While some play sports, most do not. Our children and teens have access to comprehensive programs and services that span education enrichment, character and leadership development, workforce development, the arts, and athletics.
