Ways to Give.

The Club invests approximately $2,250 per year in each child we serve. Your support, both great and small, is critical to the fulfillment of our mission. With your help we can continue serving the 2,115 kids and teens who attended the Clubs in 2024. Thank you for considering an investment in our work. Below are the most common ways individuals and businesses contribute to the Clubs. For questions, please contact VP of Resource Development Kendra Turner, kendrat@bgcpueblo.org or 719-564-0055 extension 106.

Make a Monetary Donation:

A monetary contribution is a donation of U.S. currency in any form, including cash and payments made by check, electronic funds transfer (EFT), debit card, or credit card.

In addition to standard federal and state deductions for charitable contributions, all monetary gifts to Boys & Girls Clubs of Pueblo County qualify for the Colorado Child Care Contribution Credit of an additional 50 percent. Read more about the credit below or visit the state's FAQ page HERE.
We accept gifts via credit card or bank account transfers HERE.
To make a gift with Apple Pay, Venmo Pay, Cash App or Pay Pal, visit our Givebutter page HERE.
Checks or cash can be mailed or dropped off to our Support Services office at:

Boys & Girls Clubs of Pueblo County

635 W. Corona Avenue, Suite 100

Pueblo, CO 81004

Make an IRA Gift:

Making a qualified charitable distribution from your IRA to the Clubs can have significant tax advantages.

If you are 70.5 years or older your direct-from-IRA donation reduces your taxable income, even if you do not itemize deductions.
You can avoid taxes on transfers of up to $108,000 from you IRA to our organization.
In addition, your rollover gift counts toward your Required Minimum Distribution (RMD), if you have one.
Your financial advisor can help you determine the amount that's best for your situation.
The state of Colorado considers an IRA gift equivalent cash, qualifying your distribution for the Colorado Child Care Contribution Credit. Read more about the tax credit below or at the state's FAQ page HERE.
Contact your IRA plan administrator to make the gift from your IRA to BGCPC. Please direct your plan administrator to include your name on the transfer so we know who to acknowledge. Be prepared to provide our legal name: Boys & Girls Clubs of Pueblo County; our address: 635 W. Corona Avenue, suite 100, Pueblo, CO 81004; and our federal tax ID: 23-7307508.

Join the Leadership Circle

Our Leadership Circle is comprised of individuals who give a minimum of $1,000 annually to the Clubs. Our Leadership Circle donors are honored with a commemorative Blue Door, the gateway through which our members build their futures, displayed prominently in our offices and at our annual Champions of Youth Dinner.

As of November of 2025, we have 45 Leadership Circle Donors, with a goal of adding at least five more by January 2025.

Join the "Club Impact" Monthly Donor Program

As we plan for the next ten years of organization's impact, we need the community's help to provide foundational and consistent financial support. Our goal is to engage 100 monthly donors through Club Impact to raise $45,000 annually through monthly gifts alone.

A monthly gift of as little as $5, helps Club kids thrive today and allows our staff plan for the future.
A gift of $84 adds up to $1,000 over 12 months, putting you among our top 50 individual donors.
It's easy to join and you can change or stop your monthly gifts at any time.
To get started, click HERE for our main donation page and select "recurring gift" at checkout. We are happy to assist you in adjusting your gifts over the phone at 719-564-0055 extension 106.

Donor Advised Funds

A donor-advised fund (DAF) is a philanthropic giving vehicle administered by a charitable sponsor. A charitable sponsor is a 501(c) (3) organization that has legal control over the donor advised fund and is responsible for operating and maintaining it. Charitable sponsors include public charities, community foundations, and charitable funds.

To initiate a gift from your DAF, please reach out to your charitable sponsor and indicate the amount you'd like to go the Boys & Girls Clubs of Pueblo County. That's it!
Because donations to DAFs have already been transferred from an individual to a 501 (c)(3), these contributions WILL NOT qualify for the Colorado Child Care Contribution Tax Credit.

Donate Appreciated or Depreciated Stocks and Securities

Transferring appreciated stocks and securities is a great way to make a charitable gift, and you can benefit in two ways. When you donate publicly traded stocks that have been held long-term (owned for more than one year) you may avoid capital gains taxes. Plus, you may take the full fair market value of the gift (on the date it is transferred, rather than the amount you originally paid for it) as a charitable deduction on your income taxes.

You also have the option of using depreciated stocks and bonds to make a charitable gift to benefit Boys & Girls Clubs. If you sell stocks or bonds and donate the proceeds to Boys & Girls Clubs you may be able to take a charitable deduction for the full value of the gift and take the capital loss on the asset.

Please consult your attorney, broker or financial advisor to determine the tax deductions that apply in your case.

The easiest way to make this kind of gift to Boys & Girls Clubs is to have your broker electronically transfer the stock from your account to ours. You will need the following information:

Our Account Holder: Corinne Koehler
Broker: Koehler Wealth Management
Account Name: Boys & Girls Club Operational Reserves, a Non-Profit Organization
Account #: please contact our accounting department at 719-766-8220 for this number
DTC: 0075
Our Federal Tax ID#: 23-7307508

Once you have made a gift of stock, please notify us at 719-564-0055. This is necessary because electronic transfers of stock are NOT MADE in the name of the owner (you), but in the name of the financial firm. We are only able to provide you with a receipt of your gift if you notify us.

Commit to a Planned End-of-Life Gift:

Regardless of your age or income, preparing a will that accounts for your end-of-life wishes can ensure your assets are distributed according to your priorities. If you are considering a planned gift to the Clubs, we encourage you to read more HERE.

What is the Colorado Child Care Contribution Tax Credit?

Taxpayers who make a monetary contribution to promote childcare in Colorado may claim an income tax credit of 50% of the total contribution. Both corporate and individual donors may benefit. Any taxpayer who makes a cash contribution to Boys & Girls Clubs of Pueblo County may claim an income tax credit of 50% of the total donation on your Colorado income tax return.

The most current information about the tax credit can be found at the Colorado Department of Revenue’s website: h ttps://tax.colorado.gov/income-tax-topics-child-care-contribution-credit

Without the help of donors and partners like you, our work would not be possible.

We rely on the financial support of the community to keep our life-changing programs and services available to young people in Pueblo County at little to no cost. Thank you for investing your time, talent and treasure in the Clubs.
