Boys & Girls Club of Missoula County

What Boys & Girls Club of Missoula County does

The Boys & Girls Club of Missoula County is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit charitable organization chartered on December 31, 1997, headquartered at 715 Kensington Avenue, Suite 16, Missoula, Montana (Tax ID: 84-1414110). It operates as an independently funded affiliate of the national Boys & Girls Clubs of America, delivering youth development programming to elementary and middle school children across Missoula County. The organization runs eight or more neighborhood club locations (including Hawthorne, Hellgate, Lolo, DeSmet, Midtown, Target Range, and Bonner), supplemented by transportation services from Lolo, Frenchtown, and DeSmet, and serves more than 450 youth annually across 240+ operating days per year. Programming is delivered through three core products: After School Club (school release to 6 PM with snacks, homework help, and structured activities), Summer Club (7:30 AM–6 PM full-day camp with meals, STEM/art activities, field trips, and weekly Splash water park visits), and Full Day Club (care during school breaks). Supplementary offerings include Enrichment Clubs (Fantasy & Adventure, Robotics, Chef) for ages 9–13 and specialty week-long summer camps (Dungeons & Dragons, Outdoor Explorers, Computer Science, Theatre, STEM, Detective Club).

The organization is led by CEO Justin Kinchen with a leadership team of three Directors (Memberships & Programming, Development, Events & Outreach) and a Program Coordinator, supported by a volunteer Board of Directors. Revenue is diversified across individual donations (including a Great Futures Club monthly giving tier), corporate sponsorships (directed to the Back-A-Kid Scholarship Fund), program fees for After School, Summer, and Full Day programming with weekly, full-summer, or drop-in options, signature fundraising events (Golf Classic, Blue Door Banquet, Santa on Skates, Crawfish Boil, Trivia Night, Minigolf), and planned giving programs (Heritage Club, Jeremiah Millbank Society for $10,000+ donors). Scholarships and financial assistance, including the Best Beginnings Scholarship, ensure accessibility regardless of family income. Marketing and community engagement rely on Facebook, Instagram, Constant Contact email newsletters, community events, and self-serve online registration through the HiSawyer platform. All donations remain within Missoula County, and 100% of donor support is reported to directly benefit Missoula County youth.
