Planned Giving

Leave a legacy of health and well-being for generations to come

Our community’s future will be built on today’s planned and deferred gifts. The Y’s most loyal donors will help us ensure well-being and health for many generations to come.

A gift through your will or trust is one of the most popular and flexible ways that you can support the Y. In as little as one sentence, you can complete your gift. 

You can also designate the Y as a beneficiary of life insurance plans and investments, or set up charitable gift annuities and trusts.

The Y is not a professional advisory. If needed, we can connect you to local friends who will help you make the best decisions on behalf of your interests and needs. 

Please contact us to learn more about our charitable planned giving options.

Donors who give at a certain level, either with a financial contribution during their lifetime or a planned gift, will be welcomed into our Heritage Club.

Members of the Heritage Club have included the Y in their estate plans and/or made a financial gift to our endowment fund. Many have established named funds.

The Y celebrates the leadership, service, and devotion of Heritage Club members at annual fellowship gatherings. To learn more about joining this esteemed group, please contact us.
