Educational Improvement Tax Credit Gifts (EITCs)

Through Pennsylvania’s EITC program, individuals AND businesses can receive substantial state tax credits while providing Club kids with access to high-quality educational and enrichment programs. If your company participates, please consider designating your contribution to Olivet.

Donor Advised Funds (DAFs)

If you have a Donor Advised Fund, recommending a donation from the fund is an easy and impactful way to give. Simply direct your DAF gift to Olivet Boys & Girls Club (EIN 23-1365380).

IRA Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCDs)

IIf you are 70½ or older, you can make a tax-free gift directly from your IRA to Olivet Boys & Girls Club. Your contribution can count toward your required minimum distribution and may reduce your taxable income-all while helping local youth reach their full potential.

Gifts of Stock or Appreciated Assets

Donating appreciated securities or assets is another way to give that can help you avoid capital gains taxes, while making a lasting difference for kids who need us most.

Charitable Gift Annuity

BGCA makes it easy to set up a charitable gift annuity. They’ll keep your money safe and send you fixed payments on a regular basis through the rest of your years. Upon your passing, the remainder of your gift will be transferred to Olivet. It’s a meaningful way to leave a lasting legacy, while planning for the present.

Thank You!

No matter how you choose to give, you are making a difference to our why: the kids. Thank you.

For more information about any of these giving options, please contact Sarah Althen, Development Director, at sarah.althen@olivetbgc.org or 610-484-3643, ext.113.

Individuals or businesses making a contribution to Olivet Boys & Girls Club of Reading & Berks County thru Pennsylvania’s Educational Improvement Tax Credit (EITC) Program should consult with their personal tax advisor or financial professional. While Olivet is grateful for your generous support, each donor’s tax situation is unique, and your advisor can best determine the final tax benefits and eligibility specific to your circumstances.
