Staff Fund
Boys & Girls Clubs of the Capital Area has an Employee Hardship Fund that is designed to assist employees in times of hardship.
This fund becomes critical for staff who have nowhere to turn or are overwhelmed with what life has thrown their way. It may not necessarily fix everything but it's a good start.
For questions, please contact Pat Doyle at pdoyle@bgccapitalarea.org or 518-274-3781 ext. 2001
TO CONTRIBUTE:
Employees who choose to contribute may setup a recurring monthly donation in the amount of their choosing via their credit card or checking account. Once enrolled, an employee can decide to change their monthly contribution amount or decide to stop contributing at any time. All employee donations made to this program will be matched by the BGCCA, up to $1,000 a year!
