You can support community building with a gift of stocks, bonds or mutual funds that appreciated in value.

A long-term way for current donors to support the Center is also to designate “Bay View Community Center of Milwaukee” as a beneficiary in your will or trust. Through an estate plan and/or will, donors can provide a specific percentage or dollar amount from your estate. You can also give by designating “Bay View Community Center of Milwaukee” as a beneficiary or partial beneficiary of a retirement account, pension plan or life insurance policy. Please contact your financial advisor, attorney or accountant to discuss which options are right for you.

Have a gift card you cannot or will not use? Consider re-gifting it to the Center. If you are a Businesses Owner, Gift Cards & Certificates are a great donation to generate new customers from one of our Fundraising Events. We auction gift baskets off at these events. Contact Mike Mortell at BVCC for our next Event Date.
