Give the Gift of a Great Future

With your donations, Boys and Girls Clubs of Tucson is empowered to serve thousands of at-risk youth in Tucson across our six Clubhouses with quality after-school and summer programming, homework assistance and caring staff and mentors.

The Boys and Girls Club of Tucson qualifies for the Arizona Charitable Organization Tax Credit (QCO #20282). If you are an Arizona taxpayer, you may claim this tax credit in addition to other types of tax credits.

Claim a Tax Credit

Your year-end contribution may qualify for a dollar-for-dollar tax credit of up to $800 per family.

Planned Giving

Planned Giving helps you meet your personal, financial and estate planning goals by making a lifetime or testamentary charitable gift. Learn about giving stocks and bonds, land/real estate, retirement assets, cash and/or insurance using our Club Gift platform.

Employee Giving (Corporate Match)

Many employers will match a gift you make to a nonprofit. Your effortless gift could be instantly doubled (or in some cases more). To see if your employer will match your giving, use the search function below. It really could be just as easy as giving a few minutes of your time for your generous gift stretch twice as far!

Amazon Smile

Do you shop on Amazon? At absolutely no additional cost to you, we’ll receive .5% of every order you place when you select BGCT as your charity of choice on Amazon Smile. Over the course of a year, that adds up to thousands of extra dollars we put directly into our mission of serving Tucson’s youth!

Signing up is easy! On Amazon Smile, sign in with the same username and password as you would with your normal Amazon account. On My Account click “Settings”, and in the charities search bar type in “Boys & Girls Clubs of Tucson”. Click Select when you see us, and that’s it: we are now your preferred charity. When you’re done, why not send us a quick email to let us know so we can properly thank you and invite you for a Club tour if interested?

Giving Tuesday

Giving Tuesday is the Tuesday that follows Thanksgiving every year. Its mission is to create an entire day centered around the idea of doing good in the world.

For Giving Tuesday this year, consider a special donation to the Boys & Girls Clubs of Tucson in support of our work with thousands of at-risk youth every year.

Or if you would rather get involved in a more hands-on way, explore a volunteering option or even schedule a visit at one of our six Clubhouses to find out how you can support our mission.
