Planned Giving | Leave a Legacy of Great Futures
What Is Planned Giving?
You can make a lasting difference in the lives of young people across Hampton Roads by including Boys & Girls Clubs of Southeast Virginia (BGCSEVA) in your estate or financial planning.
Planned giving — also known as legacy giving — allows you to make a meaningful contribution that supports future generations long after your lifetime. It’s a powerful way to continue shaping the lives of the kids and teens who depend on the Clubs for safety, mentorship, and opportunity.
Whether you’re honoring a loved one, supporting a cause close to your heart, or ensuring your legacy lives on, planned giving ensures your impact continues for years to come.
Why Choose Planned Giving?
There are many ways to make a difference — volunteering, donating, attending events — but planned giving allows you to create a lasting, transformational impact on the youth of Southeast Virginia.
Your legacy gift helps sustain vital programs that promote academic success, leadership development, and healthy lifestyles, ensuring that our Clubs remain safe havens for generations to come.
Ways to Give
Planned giving can take many forms, depending on your personal and financial goals. Some of the most common include:
- Bequests – Include BGCSEVA in your will or trust to make a lasting impact without affecting your current financial situation.
- Beneficiary Designations – Name BGCSEVA as a beneficiary of your life insurance policy, IRA, or retirement account.
- Charitable Gift Annuities or Trusts – Provide future support to the Clubs while also receiving income or tax benefits during your lifetime.
- Donor-Advised Funds – Recommend grants to BGCSEVA now and empower your family to continue your giving legacy in the future.
No matter which option you choose, your planned gift will help ensure that Boys & Girls Clubs continue to open doors of opportunity for children across Norfolk, Virginia Beach, Portsmouth, Chesapeake, Suffolk, Franklin, Virginia Beach, and on the Eastern Shore.
