Don Moyer Boys & Girls Club, a tax-exempt nonprofit that receives significant public funding to perform services also offered by the state, was approved to receive three grants totaling $1,121,600 in FY2024, according to passed legislation data extracted from the Illinois General Assembly’s FY2024 budget (Public Act 102-6 0698).

The listed appropriations included two grants of $500,000 and $371,600, plus an additional grant of $250,000, all designated for programs or services funded by the State of Illinois.

These appropriations represent state-level funding authorized by lawmakers, reflecting what was approved in the budget, not necessarily disbursed. The funds cover only State of Illinois support and exclude federal, local, or other public sources.

Founded in 1968 by Don Moyer Sr., Don Moyer Boys & Girls Club states that its mission is: “To enable all young people, especially tho who need us most, to reach their full potential as productive, caring, and responsible.”

You can learn more about the organization at its website.

In its most recent IRS Form 990 filing filing for tax year 2024, the organization reported $2,598,910 in total revenue. Of that, $1,417,880 came from government grants including federal, state, or local sources, making up 54.6% of total revenue.

The nonprofit listed $2,335,820 in contributions overall. It also reported $668,565 categorized under other contributions, which may include restricted donations, pledges, or bequests.

At the beginning of 2024, Don Moyer Boys & Girls Club had $1,549,980 in assets. By the end of 2024, that figure had changed to $1,388,440, indicating a 10.4% decline in overall holdings.

However, a Chicago City Wire analysis found that IRS filings frequently contain discrepancies when compared with publicly disclosed government grant reports and budgets.

Don Moyer Boys & Girls Club is one of hundreds of nonprofits across Illinois that receive substantial support from state taxpayers while also fundraising privately.

In 2025, Illinois lawmakers introduced House Bill 1266, also known as the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) Act. The proposal would create a new oversight body within the Office of the Auditor General tasked with identifying cost-saving measures, reviewing agency performance, and advising on audit priorities. If passed, DOGE could bring additional scrutiny and performance evaluation to taxpayer-funded organizations.

According to ProPublica, Illinois has more than 78,000 active tax-exempt organizations, including nearly 60,000 classified as charitable nonprofits. In their most recent IRS filings, these groups reported a combined revenue exceeding $156 billion.
