Activities or mission (Part I)

TO ENABLE ALL YOUNG PEOPLE, ESPECIALLY THOSE WHO NEED US MOST, TO REACH THEIR FULL POTENTIAL AS PRODUCTIVE, CARING, RESPONSIBLE CITIZENS.

  • IN A WORLD WHERE MANY OF OUR CHILDREN ARE OFTEN EXPOSED TO THE UNFORGIVING REALITIES OF LIFE AT MUCH TOO EARLY AN AGE, THE BOYS & GIRLS CLUB OF WHITTIER SERVES AS A BEACON OF HOPE, LOVE, AND STRENGTH TO THE CHILDREN OF OUR COMMUNITY. THE CLUB OFFERS YOUNG PEOPLE WHAT THEY NEED MOST, ADULTS WHO RESPECT AND LISTEN TO THEM, A SAFE ENVIRONMENT WHERE THEY CAN HAVE FUN AND BE THEMSELVES, AND INTERESTING CONSTRUCTIVE ACTIVITIES THAT CHANNEL YOUTHFUL ENERGY INTO CHALLENGING PURSUITS. WE CURRENTLY OPERATE OUR PROGRAMS AT 36 LOCATIONS, THE MAIN CLUBHOUSE ON GREENLEAF AVENUE IN WHITTIER, AND 35 ELEMENTARY, MIDDLE SCHOOL AND HIGH SCHOOL SITES. WE CONCENTRATE ON IDENTIFYING AND ENGAGING OUR CITY'S AT-RISK YOUTH, ALTHOUGH THE BOYS & GIRLS CLUB OF WHITTIER IS A PLACE THAT ANY CHILD CAN FIND SAFETY, ENCOURAGEMENT, AND THE STRENGTH TO GROW AND BECOME A CONTRIBUTING MEMBER OF OUR COMMUNITY. THE BOYS & GIRLS CLUB OF WHITTIER ANNUALLY SERVES APPROXIMATELY 3,600 REGISTERED CLUB MEMBERS, AGES 6 TO 18 IN WHITTIER AND THE SURROUNDING CITIES. MORE THAN 86% OF OUR MEMBERS ARE ELIGIBLE FOR FREE OR REDUCED COST SCHOOL LUNCH AND 49% OF OUR CHILDREN COME FROM SINGLE-PARENT HOMES. WE ARE DEDICATED TO POSITIVELY IMPACTING AND TRANSFORMING OUR COMMUNITY THROUGH THE DEVELOPMENT OF OUR YOUTH. EACH YEAR, WE TOUCH THE LIVES OF MORE THAN 4,500 KIDS, GIVING THEM HOPE, SKILLS AND TOOLS THEY NEED TO GROW THEIR FULL POTENTIAL. THE MONEY WE RAISE EACH DAY GOES DIRECTLY TO SUPPORTING PROGRAMS FOR OUR YOUTH. OVER THE PAST SEVERAL YEARS WE HAVE SEEN MANY CHANGES IN OUR WORLD, IN OUR COUNTRY, AND IN OUR COMMUNITY. MANY OF THEM UNFORESEEN TRAGEDIES. BUT THROUGH IT ALL, THE BOYS & GIRLS CLUB OF WHITTIER HAS REMAINED FOCUSED ON OUR MISSION. WE UNDERSTAND THE STABILITY OUR CLUB BRINGS TO THIS COMMUNITY AND THE ROLE THAT WE PLAY IN ITS FUTURE. WE KNOW THAT MANY OF OUR KIDS ARE EXPOSED AT HOME TO THE SOMETIMES HARSH REALITIES OF LIFE. JOBS LOST, FAMILIES TORN APART, NO FOOD, CROWDED HOUSING. THE LIST GOES ON AND ON BUT THE BOYS & GIRLS CLUB OF WHITTIER HAS AND WILL ALWAYS REMAIN A PLACE THAT OUR KIDS KNOW AS STABLE, FUN, AND THEIR SECOND HOME. WORKING TOGETHER, OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS, VOLUNTEERS, STAFF, AND DONORS ARE DRIVING POSITIVE OUTCOMES IN THE AREAS OF LITERACY, HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATION, TEEN SERVICES AND COLLEGE PREPARATION.

The first 25 listed. Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.

Grants made

No itemized grants to organizations. Schedule I is filed only by organizations that granted more than $5,000 to a recipient, so most filers have none.

Grants received

The 10 largest by cash amount. The API serves every itemized grant.

Related organizations

From Schedule R Part II, where a filer lists the tax-exempt organizations it is related to by control. It does not record shared board members or money.

Declared as related by

Other IRS files

Auto-Revocation List

Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.

Publication 78

Listed as of 13 October 2026, under deductibility PC.

These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.
