What is a new experience or opportunity you have had at a Boys & Girls Club?

Boys and Girls Clubs of Winnipeg is thrilled to be on the Charity Intelligence (Ci) Top 100 Highest Rated Charities for 2020!!!! The 2020 Giving Season is going to be extraordinarily challenging. Flattening the COVID curve is also flattening giving. Yet frontline charities are under enormous financial stress, compounded by unprecedented demand. Providing data enhances donor knowledge and is one way to restore that confidence. https://www.globenewswire.com//Want-to-give-well-this-givi
