Build a Legacy for Kenosha's Youth
Planned giving allows you to make a meaningful, long-term investment in the future of Kenosha's young people. By including the Boys & Girls Club of Kenosha in your estate plan, you ensure that our programs, services, and mission endure for generations to come.
Planned gifts come in many forms, from simple bequests in your will to more complex gift structures. We recommend consulting with your financial or legal advisor to determine the best option for your personal situation.
Types of Planned Gifts
There are several ways to include BGCK in your estate and financial planning.
Bequests
Include the Boys & Girls Club of Kenosha in your will or living trust. You can designate a specific dollar amount, a percentage of your estate, or residual assets after other bequests are fulfilled.
Stock & Securities
Donating appreciated stocks, bonds, or mutual fund shares can provide significant tax advantages. You may avoid capital gains tax while receiving a charitable deduction for the full market value.
Retirement Assets
Name BGCK as a beneficiary of your IRA, 401(k), or other retirement account. These assets can be heavily taxed when passed to heirs but transfer tax-free to a nonprofit.
Life Insurance
Designate BGCK as a beneficiary of a life insurance policy or donate an existing policy you no longer need. This can provide a significant future gift with minimal current cost.
Charitable Remainder Trust
A charitable remainder trust provides you or your beneficiaries with income for a period of time, with the remainder going to BGCK. This offers income, tax benefits, and charitable impact.
Donor-Advised Fund
Contribute to a donor-advised fund and recommend grants to BGCK over time. This provides flexibility in your giving while offering an immediate tax deduction.
Sample Bequest Language
If you would like to include BGCK in your will, the following language can serve as a starting point. We recommend working with your estate planning attorney to finalize the wording.
"I give, devise, and bequeath to the Boys & Girls Club of Kenosha, Inc., a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization located at 1330 52nd Street, Kenosha, Wisconsin 53140, [the sum of $_____ / _____% of my residual estate / the following described property: _____] to be used for the general purposes of the organization."
Our legal name is Boys & Girls Club of Kenosha, Inc. Please contact us for our EIN and any additional information your attorney may require.
