Boys and Girls Clubs of Larimer County

What Boys and Girls Clubs of Larimer County does

Boys & Girls Clubs of Larimer County (BGCLC) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 1986 (originally as the Alternative Youth Center, affiliating with Boys & Girls Clubs of America in 1989) and headquartered at 103 Smokey Street, Fort Collins, Colorado. It operates as an independent, locally controlled affiliate of the national BGCA network. The organization provides comprehensive, facility-based after-school and summer youth-development programming across Larimer County, including positive youth development, social-emotional learning, teen programs, meals, and behavioral health services delivered by licensed clinical social workers. Its service footprint comprises multiple Club locations in Fort Collins, Loveland, Estes Park (summer-only), and Wellington, plus ten named elementary-school sites operated in partnership with Poudre School District and Thompson School District (the latter designating BGCLC as one of two exclusive district-wide out-of-school care providers in 2020). The flagship 2025 addition is the Loveland Youth Campus, owned by BGCLC and co-operated with United Way of Larimer County and Teaching Tree, extending programming to youth ages 0–18.

BGCLC operates with no proprietary technology product, no AI/ML capability, no app, and no integrations; its "platform" is a physical network of program sites. Revenue is diversified across five streams: low-cost annual membership fees, individual donations (including monthly giving, donor-advised funds, workplace giving, and Colorado Gives Day), tiered corporate sponsorships (Exclusive Title, Presenting, Premier, Supporting, Media), government and foundation grants (e.g., 21st Century Community Learning Center), and annual fundraising events (Great Futures Gala, Golf Tournament). Go-to-market is community-led and event-driven — families enroll directly at club locations or via school partners, while corporate sponsorships and donors are cultivated through events, partnership packets, and direct outreach. The organization holds Charity Navigator Four Star, GuideStar Seal of Transparency, and BBB Accredited Charity credentials, and received BGCA's 2023 Advocate for Youth Badge. Leadership consists of a C-suite (CEO Allison Hines, CFO Tammy Chandler, COO Kyle Jackson, CDO Tricia Vincent), a Director of Behavioral Health, department directors, and roughly 20 site/assistant directors across club locations. Annual revenue is not publicly disclosed.
