Protecting Your Generosity: How We Ensure Your Support Reaches Our Kids

At Boys & Girls Clubs of Chicago (BGCC), we prioritize transparency and integrity in all our fundraising efforts. Unfortunately, there have been instances where individuals falsely represent our organization, misusing our name and logo to solicit donations. To safeguard your generosity and ensure your support directly benefits our programs and young people, we want to clarify our approach:

We do not engage in door-to-door or public solicitation for cash donations. We never enlist our program participants or their families to solicit funds on our behalf. If you encounter someone claiming to represent BGCC requesting cash donations or peer-to-peer payments, we urge you to exercise caution. To ensure your donation reaches us securely and to receive a tax receipt for your contribution, we recommend donating directly through our official website at bgcc.org/donate.

Alternatively, contact us at (312) 235-8000 to discuss other donation methods, such as checks. Your support, as a valued donor, means the world to us, and we're committed to ensuring it directly impacts the lives of BGCC's young people. Thank you for your trust and generosity.
