What is the BGCSDTO Foundation?

The Boys and Girls Club of San Dieguito (BGCSDTO) Foundation was established in 1977 and is an independent entity managed by 18 Trustees.  The Foundation is a tax-deductible receptacle for donations aimed at long-range facilities planning, as well as being a backup for existing operations. The Foundation also acts as a custodian for major grants and bequests in support of specific BGCSDTO programs and activities, and will administer them at its own cost. Contributions arrive through direct gifts (cash, land, stocks, insurance and mortgages) and through delayed gifting via bequests and charitable trusts. Assets today are approximately $3 million, with approximately $12 million in deferred gifts. The Foundation supports the operating Club by:

• Providing non-interest-bearing loans to assist the operating Club's cash flow
• Undertaking studies and demographic surveys to project future needs
• Seeking land to acquire for new Club facilities
• Making grants for off-budget items such as capital grants and special projects
• Providing scholarships to needy and deserving youth

THE HERITAGE CLUB is comprised of men and women who support the mission of the Boys & Girls Clubs of San Dieguito through gifts to the Foundation using any of the following methods:

·       An outright gift to the BGCSDTO Foundation of money, securities, property or other marketable assets

·       Creation of a unitrust, annuity trust, pooled income fund, short-term trust or life estate program

·       Naming the BGCSDTO Foundation as the eventual recipient of life insurance

·       Naming the BGCSDTO Foundation to receive a bequest in one’s will

An individual may direct his or her gift to the Foundation for a specific program or for general purposes.  Gifts to the Foundation are held in perpetuity, unless otherwise directed by the donor.
