IT JUST TAKES ONE

You have the power to create positive change.  Your contribution makes all the difference.  By giving to the United Way, you inspire changes for a healthier region and ignite hope in our community’s youth. United Way Donor Designated gifts make the biggest impact in our local community.  Funds are directed to local programs that address our community’s most significant needs in the areas of education, income, health and wellness. You may choose to designate all or a portion of your total gift to the Boys & Girls Club of Eden-Lake Shore.

The United Way of Buffalo & Erie County does not charge a fundraising fee on designated contributions. Join us in caring for thousands of kids in our community.  Your investment helps each member achieve academic success, live a healthy lifestyle, and demonstrate good character and leadership. 

 With your support, we can give children the tools needed to succeed while keeping them accountable and encouraged to do the work necessary to achieve it. Our Commitment – We promise to use your investment wisely, responsibly, and efficiently to achieve a real, sustainable and measurable impact for the children and families in our community.  We will be transparent and open in sharing our successes and our challenges.

MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN THE LIVES OF OUR YOUTH

The Endowment Fund of the Boys and Girls Club of Eden-Lake Shore was established to provide a vehicle to invest in the future of both today’s local youth and the youth we will serve in the future. 

 The Endowment Fund is charged with soliciting, accepting and distributing donations to the Club and may accept gifts in many forms.  The principal of the fund remains invested, while the interest or dividends earned provide operating funds for the Club.  Your contribution to the Club is tax deductible and may be designated as to use.  Both restricted and unrestricted gifts are encouraged.
