To our loyal supporters: thank you for your unwavering commitment to our community. Your generosity has been the engine behind our growth, helping us surpass $11.3 million in total grants awarded to numerous local civic, educational, health and human services, and environmental organizations since our inception.

Ways to Donate

Leave a Planned Gift in Your Will

A gift in your will is a powerful declaration of support for our mission. We deeply value these future contributions, and prioritizing unrestricted gifts ensures we have the flexibility to use funds where they are most needed.

Contact us at info@ballenislescharitiesfoundation.org for more information.

Advantages

Ensure your deeply valued commitment to the BallenIsles Charities Foundation continues to make a profound impact. A legacy donation secures your charitable goals and is implemented exactly in accord with your personal wishes.

Gifts by Check

Gifts by check are a welcome form of support and should be made payable to the BallenIsles Charities Foundation. Please submit your contribution via mail to the BallenIsles Charities Foundation at 100 BallenIsles Circle, Palm Beach Gardens, FL 33418, or deliver it directly to the Clubhouse Reception Desk.

Advantages

Gifts by check from a typical bank account may be fully tax deductible depending on your specific filing situation. We recommend consulting with your professional tax advisor to review your specific tax landscape and maximize your charitable planning benefits.

Securities

Contributions of appreciated securities, including mutual funds, are an excellent method of support. To facilitate your gift, assets can be contributed directly to the BallenIsles Charities Foundation or seamlessly transferred with the professional support of your broker or financial advisor.

Advantages

Appreciated securities are an efficient way to give, offering tax and estate planning advantages that may significantly increase the value of your donation. For guidance tailored to your circumstances, please speak with your tax advisor or financial planner.

Direct IRA Contribution

Good news for taxpayers over the age of 72: Congress has voted to make permanent the exclusion from income of up to $100,000 per person, per year, for Individual Retirement Account (IRA) distributions given directly to charities.

Advantages

This is a highly efficient and valuable way to support the Foundation: the distribution from your IRA is non-taxable and fully counts toward fulfilling your Required Minimum Distribution (RMD).

Matching Gifts

We encourage you to inquire about corporate Matching Gift Programs, which are established by many employers for their current and retired personnel. These institutional programs provide a valuable source of support by matching charitable gifts, with the specific criteria (including the amount of the match) determined by the company's policy. 

The Foundation can help you determine if your employer has a matching gift program. Contact us at info@ballenislescharitiesfoundation.org for help.

Advantages

Matching gift programs offer an easy and powerful method to leverage your contribution, resulting in a substantial increase in the value of your support to the BallenIsles Charities Foundation.

Tribute Cards

Recognize any special person or mark a life event with BallenIsles Charities Foundation Tribute Card. Cards are available for all occasions.

Advantages

Making an open-ended charitable donation in honor of your designated recipient is a valuable and thoughtful alternative to conventional gifts. Beyond its inherent generosity, this type of contribution provides crucial resources where they are most needed, ensuring immediate and profound help for others.

Corporate and Business Sponsorships

We are honored to be supported by many of the businesses that operate in and around the BallenIsles Country Club.
They demonstrate their support for our community and the efforts we put forth to Make a Difference outside of our gates.
