Boys & Girls Clubs of North Central Illinois Endowment Fund

Established 2024

The Boys & Girls Clubs of North Central Illinois Endowment Fund was established to support the mission and activities of the Boys & Girls Club in perpetuity.

Over 50% of Boys & Girls Club alumni credit the Club with saving their lives. This makes both what we do, and your investment, so important.

Our purpose is to inspire and empower our members to achieve success and to champion opportunities for all young people in America. We’re inviting you to support our journey by helping us expand our services to reach 10,000 local youth! Currently, we support over 3,000 at-risk youth at 34 sites across Aurora, Batavia, Elgin, South Elgin, Hanover Park, Schaumburg, and Streamwood. However, 1 in 3 local children still return to an empty home, and that needs to change. Our goal is to grow to 100 sites in 1,000 days, ensuring more kids have a safe place to go and engage in transformative opportunities. Thank you for helping us make a greater impact for generations to come.

A community foundation is a donor-driven organization that helps donors custom-design funds that reflect their charitable interests. Through the years, grants from these funds have made a significant impact on our local communities.

President Emeritus

As a first-generation college student from a low-income family, I was worried about how I was going to pay for books and supplies. This scholarship will allow me to focus more on my studies instead of worrying about how to afford college. I am working to not only create opportunities for myself but to motivate future generations. Thank you so much for helping me along this journey!

There’s no question in my mind that the scholarship I received opened up possibilities.

…you can always start small, even $25 can make a difference. Remember we can’t take our money with us. Even if it’s just your gift of time. Volunteer and get involved.

We chose the Community Foundation because of its reputation. It’s well known, established and we can trust them to do the job for us.
