Thank you for your interest in Boys & Girls Clubs of Northwest New Jersey. Our hope is to serve you and your family with helpful information. We have been experiencing a great deal of interest from friends of Boys & Girls Clubs in becoming members of The Heritage Club. These are individuals, like you, who are passionate about supporting all young people, especially those who need us most, to reach their full potential as productive, caring and responsible citizens. To become a member of The Heritage Club is making a planned gift. We invite you to explore the benefits of gift planning and to see how your gift might help save a child.

Each and every gift makes a difference in the lives of the children and teens we serve. Philanthropic contributions are essential to ensuring that the Boys & Girls Clubs of Northwest New Jersey can provide high-quality programs that help young people reach their full potential, particularly those who need us most.

Matching Gifts: Many corporations have matching gifts programs that can double or even triple the size of your gift. Please check with your (or your spouse's) human resources department to see if your gift is eligible for a match. Normally, the employee submits initial paperwork or completes an online form; the school will handle the rest of the process, and you will be notified when we receive your matching gift.
 
Gifts from an IRA: If you are older than 70 1/2, you can donate up to $100,000 from your IRA to a charity tax-free. Donors do not receive an income tax charitable deduction; however, this provision allows donors to transfer money from their IRAs without having to recognize the transfer as taxable income. Please consult your tax advisor for information about your specific situation.
