what your dollar means
Advertisement
In 2015, BGCA engaged the Institute for Social Research and the School of Public Health at the University of Michigan to conduct a national study to estimate the return on investment (ROI), or the benefit-cost ratio, of the services Boys & Girls Clubs provide to youth and their families. The study showed that Boys & Girls Club services and programs produce significant and lasting value for youth, families and their communities.
The study suggests that every dollar invested in Boys & Girls Clubs returns $9.60 in current and future earnings and cost-savings to their communities. The greatest benefits are from Club members’ improved grades, reduced substance use, and their parents’ earnings. Boys & Girls Clubs also contribute to major savings for society by helping to prevent costly expenditures for health care, public assistance programs, criminal justice system involvement, and incarceration.
To gain a bit of the national scope of impact Clubs have on the future of our Nation, Clubs invest $1.4 billion annually in youth, resulting in $13.8 billion in lifetime benefits to youth, families and communities.
Boys & Girls Clubs provide a safe haven for more than 4 million youth, giving them an opportunity to discover their great futures. But millions of kids are still in need, and we can’t close the opportunity gap alone. You can make a life-changing difference today!
