 Helping
to light the way of the future.
How can
you help guarantee the future of the Arlington Boys & Girls
Club? Every year the Arlington Boys & Girls Club relies on gifts
and donations that allow it to continue it's mission. Membership
and program fees cover only a small part of the costs involved in
running the Club. Lasting Gifts, both large and small, to the Boys
& Girls Club endowment fund help us to keep activity fees at
levels that can be afforded by all.
Annually,
the Club depends on investment earnings to cover a portion of the operating
budget. Lasting Gift donation, made by people wanting to assist us in continuing
our mission, make up a large share of the money in the investment fund.
By making
Lasting Gift contributions, such as charitable reminder trusts,
gift annuities, wills and donations of stock, your donation continues
to assist the Club long after it has been made. The Arlington Boys
& Girls Club has been a safe and secure place for the youth
of Arlington and surrounding communities for generations. The foresight
of the founders of the Club and others of past generations has made
the Club the wonderful place it is today. Your Lasting Gift can
help us assure that the Club remains a wonderful place for generations
yet to come.
Gifts
to the Arlington Boys & Girls Club can also provide certain
tax advantages to those making donations. Since the Club is a qualified
501(c) organization, all donations to the Arlington Boys & Girls
Club qualify for the maximum charitable deduction on your federal
income tax return.
STOCK
Contributing
appreciated stock to the Arlington Boys & Girls Club, not only assists the
Club but eliminates any long-term capitol gains tax due upon the sale of the
stock. The Boys & Girls Club has an account ready and the transfer of stock
to the Club is easy.
WILLS
& BEQUESTS
A will
is a personal gifting document. It allows you to leave your property, according
to your wishes, in special ways to support those people and causes dear to you.
Remembering the Arlington Boys & Girls Club in your will allows you to show
your life commitment to the organization.
A donor
may include a bequest to the Boys & Girls Club in his or her estate plan.
Bequests can be for a specific amount, a percentage of the donor's estate, or
a residual portion.
CHARITABLE
REMAINDER TRUSTS & GIFT ANNUITIES
Both Charitable
Remainder Trusts and Gift Annuities are legal agreements that can provide tremendous
tax advantages to the donor. With a Charitable Remainder Trust, you create a
deferred charitable gift, receiving lifetime income payments for yourself. Because
the trust qualifies for significant tax benefits your spendable, after tax,
income may actually increase.
A Gift
Annuity is an agreement between you and the Boys & Girls Club under which
you give a specific sum of cash, securities or other property and, in return,
are guaranteed a fixed annual income. The transfer is part gift, qualifying
as a current deductible charitable contribution for Federal income tax purposes,
and part purchase of annuity.
GIFTS
OF CASH AND MUTUAL FUNDS
Obviously,
gifts of cash and mutual funds are always appreciated, and can be tax deductible
as charitable donations.
In
all cases, gifts to the Boys & Girls Club endowment fund benefit those the
Club serves for generations to come. By making a donation, you are helping us
assure that no child will ever be turned away from the Arlington Boys &
Girls Club for lack of funds. Your commitment to us, allows us to continue our
commitment to the community.
For
more information on any of these ways to make a Lasting Gift, please contact
your financial advisor, lawyer or the Arlington Boys & Girls Club at 781-648-1617.
One
way of lighting the path toward a bright future.
