Boys & Girls Clubs of Ada County

What Boys & Girls Clubs of Ada County does

Boys & Girls Clubs of Ada County is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit youth development organization founded in 1997 and headquartered in Garden City, Idaho, operating as the local affiliate of Boys & Girls Clubs of America. It serves youth ages 5-18 across eight Club locations in Boise, Garden City, Meridian, and Kuna, reaching more than 4,500 youth annually with approximately 1,200 daily attendees. Core programming spans athletics, arts, education and career readiness, STEM initiatives supported by the Micron Foundation, and character/leadership curricula aligned with the BGCA "Great Futures" framework.

The organization runs on a hybrid digital/physical operating stack. Membership enrollment, parent communication, and payments flow through a Parent Portal built on Salesforce Experience Cloud, while fundraising and donor management use DonorSupport. Day-to-day program delivery is facility-based and staff-led across the eight Club sites. Pricing is structured as weekly memberships at $25-$50 per week, supplemented by a Financial Assistance program underwritten by City of Boise and City of Meridian Community Development Block Grant funds to subsidize low-income families.

The business model blends earned revenue (membership fees), contributed revenue (individual donations, corporate sponsorships from Micron, Lamb Weston, J.R. Simplot, Wells Fargo, HP, and others), event-based fundraising (Wild West Auction, Spud Challenge), and public-sector grants. The organization employs 27 staff and is governed as an independent local nonprofit under the BGCA federation, with no equity investors, M&A activity, or acquisition pathway applicable.
