How you can make a planned charitable gift:

  • WILLS & BEQUESTS– A gift to the Foundation by will permits you to retain all of your assets during your lifetime and/or the life of your spouse. Designations may be for a percentage of your estate or for a specified amount.
  • CHARITABLE TRUST– A charitable trust can provide income to you and your spouse as long as you both shall live. Thereafter, the trust principle will go to the Foundation. You may also name additional charities as principal recipients.
  • LIFE INSURANCE– When the added protection of an insurance policy is no longer needed, transferring the policy’s ownership to the Foundation can result in tax benefits for you and a generous gift for the YMCA. The Foundation can also be included as a beneficiary of a policy.
  • CHARITABLE LEAD TRUST- This provides current income for the Foundation for a specific period of time you determine: 5, 10, 15 years or more. At the end of the term, the assets are distributed to the loved ones you have designated.
  • OUTRIGHT GIFT– A direct gift of cash, appreciated securities or real estate may be the most convenient way for you to make a contribution to the Foundation.
