We are planning for the future of the Boys & Girls Clubs, are you?

Through the generosity of many corporations, foundations and individual supporters, the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Northtowns continues to guide our community's youth through childhood into adulthood.  Your investments in the Boys & Girls Clubs help to ensure that our doors are open and provide the Positive Place for Kids for years to come. 

Be a part in the preparation for our future by planning for yours.  The most common way to contribute a planned gift is by including the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Northtowns in your will.  It is easier than you may think.  Here's how:

1. Prepare a List of Assests and Liabilities - Include the approximate value and account number for each.  Besides the obvious (savings accounts, house, car, etc.), don't forget about your personal items such as jewelry, antiques and other items of significant worth.  Also, provide the face value for life insurance policies, and amounts in retirement plans, along with corresponding designated beneficiaries.  
2. See a Lawyer - An attorney is not required by law to create your will, however, it is to your benefit to see one who specializes in estate planning.  Click here to get connected to a specialists. 
3. Sit back, relax, and think of all the smiles you will bring to a number of children!  Once you supply the needed information to an attorney, (s)he will counsel you on how the estate planning process works, the impact on taxes and answer any other questions you may have.  He or she will help you to identify your gift planning priorities and objectives.  It's as easy as that!

FYI - a lawyer may charge a flat rate fee for their work performed or they will bill for an hourly charge.  Most lawyers will offer a free or low-rate initial consultation.
