About Fort Smith Boys Club Charitable Foundation Trust
The Fort Smith Boys Club Charitable Foundation Trust’s recent giving is centered on a single local institution: the Fort Smith Boys & Girls Clubs, which received its three largest listed grants in 2023, 2024, and 2025 for programs and projects. That repeated pattern points to a funder that supports ongoing youth services rather than isolated awards. The foundation’s stated mission, carried through the clubs, is to help youth of all backgrounds develop the qualities needed to become responsible citizens and leaders. Its program areas include after-school support, mentoring through Stand With U, education and academic support, college scholarships, STEM and technology including LEGO robotics, arts and music education, health and wellness with daily meals, athletics and recreational programs, and workforce readiness for teens. The scholarship program is a separate active grant program and is open to club members who meet eligibility requirements, with awards available for college and trade schools. Previous recipients must reapply. The University of Arkansas at Fort Smith has committed to the program. Across the latest filing year, the foundation gave $985,458 and held $6,379,244 in assets.
What Fort Smith Boys Club Charitable Foundation Trust Funds
Education appears in two distinct ways. The active Fort Smith Boys & Girls Clubs College Scholarship Program awards post-secondary scholarships to eligible club members, including support for both college and trade schools. The program also requires previous recipients to reapply. Beyond scholarships, the foundation supports broader youth development through program grants. In 2025, it gave $336,940 to Fort Smith Boys & Girl for programs and projects, followed by $325,649 in 2024 for the same purpose. Its stated club mission includes academic support, STEM and technology such as LEGO robotics, arts and music education, and workforce readiness for teens. Health and recreation are also part of the funding mix. The clubs’ program list includes daily meals, athletics and recreational programs, and mentoring through Stand With U, showing support that extends beyond classroom-based services.
How Fort Smith Boys Club Charitable Foundation Trust Gives
Typical awards are tightly clustered: the 25th percentile is $323,564, the median is $324,259, and the 75th percentile is $324,954. That narrow range suggests highly standardized program support rather than widely varying grant sizes. The foundation’s giving is local, and every listed grant in the file went to recipients in Arkansas. The recent record also shows continuity across years, with grants listed in 2023, 2024, and 2025 to the same local organization. The foundation does not fund individuals and does not make program-related investments. Its active scholarship program is open to unsolicited applications.
