Boys & Girls Club of Greater Green Bay

What Boys & Girls Club of Greater Green Bay does

The Boys & Girls Club of Greater Green Bay, legally organized as Boys & Girls Clubs of the Bay & Lakes Region, is a 501(c)(3) non-profit youth development organization serving children and adolescents ages 7-17 across Northeast Wisconsin. The organization was formed in March 2023 through the merger of three previously independent clubs — Boys & Girls Club of Door County, Boys & Girls Club of Green Bay, and Boys & Girls Club of Shawano — creating one of Northeast Wisconsin's largest youth development agencies. It operates 11 Club locations, comprising three Clubhouses (Lutsey Unit/East Side and Nagel Unit/West Side in Green Bay, and the David Hatch Center in Sturgeon Bay/Door County) plus ten school-based sites integrated with K-5 elementary and middle/high school campuses across the three sub-regions. Programming is delivered by professionally trained youth development staff across six pillars: Leadership & Belonging, Emotional Wellness, Creative Arts & STEM, Health & Fitness, Workforce Readiness, and Academic Success, with signature offerings including the Be Great: Graduate coaching program (reported 100% senior graduation rate among participants) and the Sensory Zen Den emotional regulation space staffed by licensed therapists, social workers, and youth advocates. As an affiliate of Boys & Girls Clubs of America, it benefits from national brand recognition, standardized safety frameworks, and national sponsor pipelines.

Revenue is generated through a diversified non-profit funding stack: (1) individual donations via annual campaigns, the Blue Door Society monthly giving program, and one-time gifts; (2) corporate grants and partnerships (notably Taco Bell Foundation's $35,000 grant and Ross Stores' national in-store fundraiser that matches the first $400,000 raised); (3) sliding-scale membership fees for Door County summer programs ($400 full / $200 reduced / $0 waived under free-and-reduced-lunch eligibility, $800 family cap) while Shawano programs are free; (4) planned giving through the Heritage Club covering bequests, life insurance, retirement assets, securities, charitable remainder trusts, and donor-advised fund grants; and (5) special-event fundraising including the Wine, Cheese & Whimsy gala and golf tournaments. The organization reaches over 2,000 youth annually and serves nearly 500 youth daily, delivered 107,761 snacks and meals in the most recent reported year, and serves 858 teens at Club locations. Lead-generation/donor-acquisition is community-led through school partnerships, word-of-mouth, and direct family outreach. There is no proprietary technology platform, no AI/ML capability, and no software product; the value proposition rests on physical site footprint, trained staff, and program quality, with reported outcome metrics including 95% of youth feeling they belong at the Club, 88% reporting coping skills, and 19 National Awards for program excellence over the past decade. Annual revenue is not publicly disclosed.
