2019 IMPACT REPORT Year in Review A LEVEL OF EXCELLENCE BGCD is committed to the highest level of service and programming. In 2019, we earned a Platinum Seal of Transparency from GuideStar, showcasing the progress and results we’re making toward our mission to serve kids who need us most. Additionally, Charity Navigator granted us four stars, placing us in the top-tier of nonprofits nationwide in financial health, accountability, and transparency. These designations demonstrate our commitment to effectively use our resources to make an impact. SIGNATURE EVENTS BGCD held its 11th Annual TOPPs (Threshold of Opportunities) Celebration in May. This special dinner provided a unique opportunity for Club members to dine with corporate sponsors and community leaders. We recognized our Youth of the Year and a record 110 Collegiate STEPS graduating seniors with special awards and a half million dollars in scholarship money from BGCD and other partners. In the fall, we held our 14th Annual Corporate Cup tournament at the prestigious Dallas National Golf Course. Teams from throughout the Dallas business community came together to golf for a worthy cause. Due to the support of generous sponsors and donors, both signature events netted almost $430,000! DOING WHATEVER IT TAKES Our blue doors are gateways to successful futures for thousands of Club kids in Dallas and Navarro counties. Whether it’s helping a child escape gang violence in his neighborhood or assisting a teen to get into the dream college they never thought they could attend, our “Whatever It Takes” philosophy has impacted the lives of thousands of children and teens. But we can’t do it alone. In 2019, our army of community donors, partners, and stakeholders came through in a major way. For instance, we received a generous $25,000 gift from Michaels to create a new art room at the Richardson Club through their MAKE Space initiative. We continue to receive substantial support from long-time partners like United Way of Metropolitan Dallas and the Hillcrest Foundation but we have also forged new partnerships with generous groups like the Rees-Jones Foundation and Allstate. With the support of thousands of individual donors, corporations, volunteer groups, and in-kind contributors, we were awarded close to $3 million to continue building a positive environment for the kids who need us most. Visit bgcdallas.org/ourimpact for a full list of our 2019 donors. 90% of BGCD Club kids feel a sense of belonging at the Club.
