Support The Club

There are many ways to support the Boys & Girls Club of the Ozarks. As a non-profit agency, we rely on donations from individuals, companies and foundations to fund our two Units! And, our Club does not receive any United Way funds.

Gifts to the Club may be made in the form of cash, checks, stocks, or by credit card (Visa, MasterCard and American Express). We are also pleased to accept in-kind donations of goods or services that will benefit the Club.

Thank you for considering a donation to the Boys & Girls Club of the Ozarks. Following are just some of the ways you can help:

Online Donations

With the GivingExpress^SM program, giving has never been so easy or rewarding

Give to your favorite charity by donating with your American Express Card. Donations can be made in dollars or Membership Rewards© points. Your dollar donation is tax deductible and you will receive an e-mail receipt that meets IRS requirements as a record of your contribution. The site also enables you to set up recurring donations to your favorite charity. Plus, you can earn one Membership Rewards point for virtually every dollar you donate on an eligible, enrolled Card.

Visit www.americanexpress.com/give for more information * To be eligible to earn bonus points, you must be enrolled in the Membership Rewards program at the time of the donation and must charge your purchase on an eligible, enrolled American Express® Card.

It Just Takes One Campaign

This annual campaign raises critical funds for day-to-day operations at both Club Units. A member of our Board of Directors may contact you personally for a gift, or look for your request in the mail. Please be as generous as you can!

Tax Credits

The Boys & Girls Club of the Ozarks frequently has Missouri State Tax Credits available through the Neighborhood Assistance Program (NAP) and the Youth Opportunities Program (YOP). Please call to find out if credits are currently available, and if you qualify! Tax credits are a great way to support the Club while reducing your state tax liability at the same time.

Community Cash

Throughout the year, Country Mart gives out "Community Cash" dollars to support area non-profits. Please bring your Community Cash to either Unit of the Boys & Girls Club, or to the Thrift Shop. Community Cash helps purchase food for the Clubs throughout the year!

Sponsorships

Get involved with the Club by becoming a sponsor of one of our activities, such as Sports, Fitness and Recreation programs, Power Hour Homework Help, Torch Club, the Arts, and others. Your support will help ensure that important programs continue to thrive at the Club, and will enable all kids to participate in special programs, regardless of their ability to pay.

Special Events

Please see a listing of all Club special events on the Events section of this web site.
