Many donors find that they are able to increase the size of their gift if they can make payments over a period of time. Donors are encouraged to make pledges over a 3 to 5 year period, allowing tax deductions for each year in which payments are made. Pledges will be scheduled to begin at the convenience of the donor.
To make a pledge or a gift to the campaign, please complete this form and send it to Joe Hungler at joe.hungler@lbgc.org, or by mail. You can also learn more about the ways to support Believe & Become below.
All gifts are tax deductible and will be recognized in print materials, unless the donor selects to be anonymous. All gifts over $5,000 will be recognized on a plaque in the newly renovated Boys & Girls Club, and naming opportunities exist for gifts over $25,000. Please contact Joe Hungler at joe.hungler@lbgc.org or 978-458-4526 for more information including a list of naming opportunities, or to arrange for a meeting to discuss your gift.

Donating cryptocurrency directly to a 501c3 nonprofit is tax efficient and can save you money. The IRS classifies cryptocurrency as property for tax purposes which means it is typically the most tax efficient way to support your favorite cause. When donating crypto, you receive a tax deduction for the fair market value of the crypto, and you avoid the capital gains tax you would have incurred if you had sold the crypto and then made a donation. That means you’re able to donate more, as well as deduct more on your tax return. The difference? Sometimes more than 30%. If you provide an email, you will automatically receive a tax receipt after donating.
In-kind giving can have a major impact on reducing the cost of construction and renovation projects. For example, corporate suppliers of building and landscaping materials could gift these goods to an organization to reduce the cost of building and renovation. The Club would be happy to discuss this option.
Some companies have matching gift programs in which the company may match an employee’s gift in greater or lesser amounts. If you or your spouse/partner are affiliated with such a company and would like to take advantage of this opportunity, please forward the company’s matching gift form with your signed pledge card.
