Financial Giving
Membership in the Boy Scouts of America during childhood, adolescence, and adulthood plays a major role in shaping character and values and the use of these values in daily life. Take a stand on character, values, and integrity in support of our young people by making a contribution to the Buckeye Council today. It's the smartest investment you can make, an investment in the greatest asset America has—its children.

| Encouraging gifts to
the Buckeye Council endowment funds is one of Scouting's highest priorities. It is
one of the best ways to ensure that our Council can continue to offer the outstanding
programs it now has and also grow to meet the needs of the youth and communities it
serves. In its gratitude for such support, the Boy Scouts of America nationally offers three distinct recognition awards. These awards are presented by the Buckeye Council to donors who support Scouting's financial future with gifts to the endowment funds. |
|
| Members of the Buckeye Council Heritage Society participate in contribute to the endowment funds through at least one of the following three programs: |
|
| James E. West was the first Chief Scout Executive of the Boy Scouts of America, and served in that position for more than three decades. The West Fellowship award is available for gifts of $1,000 and up in cash or marketable securities to the Buckeye Council endowment fund. The gift must be in addition to - and not replace or diminish - the donor's annual Friends of Scouting support. Many individuals and corporations make these gifts either on behalf of someone else - such as in honor of an Eagle Scout, Silver Beaver recipient, a retirement, a special accomplishment, or anniversary - or in memory of a special individual. If an institution is truly "the lengthened shadow of one man," it is more than fitting that the BSA honor James E. West's significant contributions to Scouting in such a significant way. |

| Founded in 1910, the
Boy Scouts of America has grown into something larger and more significant than anyone
anticipated. We honor that special date by presenting the 1910 Society award to
donors who make gifts of $25,000 or more to the Buckeye Council endowment fund.
These gifts can be in the form of cash, securities, land, five-year pledges, or
other property suitable for the Council endowment fund, or easily converted to cash.
Recognition in the 1910 Society honors four very special individuals who shaped
modern-day Scouting: |

The Founders Circle
is intended to recognize deferred gifts designated for the Buckeye Council's
endowment funds. With deferred giving (also called planned giving) so
widely and effectively used by so many donors, the BSA wants to recognize the importance
of such major gifts. Donors are recognized for gift commitments of $100,000 or more.
Unlike the other endowment recognition awards, a donor may qualify for membership
with gifts made through:
There are four levels of membership within the Founders Circle:
The early founders of the BSA had the vision and commitment to make Scouting the number one youth organization in the world. In that spirit, we honor the modern-day visionaries who qualify for the Founders Circle in their commitment to perpetuate the visions and beliefs of those founders.
