Leave a Legacy for Local Youth

Leave a lasting legacy through planned giving or endowments with Boys & Girls Clubs of the Greater Santiam. Support kids in Lebanon & Sweet Home for generations.

At the Boys & Girls Club of the Greater Santiam, every gift is an act of hope.

Your support opens doors — to learning, safety, friendship, and opportunity — for hundreds of children and teens who walk through our Club doors every day.


We’re in the early stages of building a new development program that will ensure our Clubs in Lebanon and Sweet Home continue to grow stronger, more sustainable, and ready to meet the needs of every child who calls this community home.

Our Mission in Action

We believe that when children have a safe place to learn, play, and grow — they thrive. Your generosity fuels programs that:

  • Provide nutritious meals and after-school care
  • Offer academic support and mentorship
  • Build character, confidence, and leadership skills
  • Create memories that last a lifetime


Every dollar you give stays right here in our community — directly supporting kids and families in Linn County.

The Beginning of Something Big

Our Clear Vision

To build a community of donors, volunteers, and partners who believe every child deserves a great future. Our growing Development Program will focus on:

  • Individual & Corporate Giving: Partnering with those who care deeply about youth and community.
  • Scholarships & Opportunity Funds: Ensuring that financial hardship never stands in the way of a child’s success.
  • Planned & Legacy Giving: Creating pathways for long-term impact that will serve generations to come.


This is the foundation for a future where every child has the tools to succeed — and you can be part of it from the very beginning.
