Give a gift that lasts for generations

We invite you to consider a bequest or legacy gift to the Boys & Girls Club, joining generations of individuals who’ve made the Club a safe haven for Huntington Beach and Fountain Valley’s children and youth.

The generosity of donors like you means the Club will always be here for the kids and families who need the Boys & Girls Club most.

Make a Bequest

You may include the Boys & Girls Club in your will for a specific amount, a percentage of your estate, or a remainder gift after bequests to other interests have been paid. A bequest provides an estate tax deduction for the full value of your bequest to the Club. It can be included in a new will or revocable trust, or it can be added to an existing will or trust through a simple amendment, often at minimal expense. Here is some simple language you can use for your bequest.

  • Residual Gift: I give and devise to the Boys & Girls Clubs of Huntington Valley, located in Fountain Valley, CA 92708, Tax ID# 95-6192466, the rest, residue, and remainder of my estate, both real and personal, to be used for its general support (or for a specific purpose or program).
  • Specific Gift: I give and devise to the Boys & Girls Clubs of Huntington Valley, located in Fountain Valley,
    CA 92708, Tax ID# 95-6192466, the sum of $___ to be used for its general support (or for a specific purpose or program).
  • Contingent Gift: If ______ is not living at the time
    of my death, I give and devise to the Boys & Girls Clubs of Huntington Valley, located in Fountain Valley, CA, Tax ID# 95-6192466, the sum of $___ to be used for its general support or for a specific purpose (or program).
Beneficiary Designation - Retirement or Insurance Accounts

You can easily designate the Boys & Girls Club as a beneficiary of a life insurance policy or retirement account. When the time comes, the Club receives the proceeds. Your heirs benefit indirectly as well, because policy proceeds distributed to an exempt organization are deductible for estate and inheritance tax purposes, leaving more to be distributed to them from otherwise taxable assets. Ask your insurance or retirement account manager for a beneficiary designation form.
