Boys & Girls Clubs of King County
Help us change a life.

The economy is impacting our kids and families, and your support is needed now more than ever.

  • Kids are hungry—More kids are coming to the Club hungry. Staff are scrambling to find filling meals that won’t break their budget.
  • Families are in need—Many parents face evictions, layoffs, and overwhelming financial stress. Kids in the Clubs are exhibiting signs of these stresses.

The Renton/Skway Boys & Girls Club depends on generous individual gifts, fundraising events, and foundation support to help us reach almost 2000 youth each year. The money we raise allows us to keep our services affordable and even free to youth in our community.

With your support, we will continue to ensure that no child is ever turned away from our Club due to financial resources.

Many companies have programs through which they will match the charitable contributions made by their employees. Through corporate gift matching, your employer can multiply your gift to Renton/Skyway Boys & Girls Club, making it go further.

Check with your company's human resources office to see if your company offers a gift matching program. (If it doesn’t, you may want to ask your company to start one.) If your employer does offer this program, your human resources department should provide you with a matching gift form to send along with your donation. Complete this form and mail it with your donation to:

Boys & Girls Clubs of King County
Attn: Resource Development
603 Stewart Street, Suite 300
Seattle, WA 98101

Our Resource Development department will verify receipt of your gift and return the form to your company for matching funds.
