The Heritage Club is comprised of those men and women who are helping to perpetuate
the YMCA’s influence on future generations of youth and families through their gifts and commitments to the YMCA Endowment Fund.
Many friends of the YMCA are helping to extend its influence beyond their own lifetime by designating gifts or assets they have accumulated to the YMCA’s Endowment Fund. Give the gift of the YMCA. It’s so easy and you can rest assured that your gift today will benefit children and families yet to come.
Individuals and couples have qualified to become members of the Heritage ?Club in one or more of the following ways.
1. Making as outright gift to the YMCA Endowment Fund of money, securities, property or other marketable assets.
2. Naming the YMCA Endowment Fund as a beneficiary of a new or existing life insurance policy.
3. Creating a charitable remainder trust, pooled income fund or life estate gift to benefit the YMCA Endowment Fund.
4. Naming the YMCA Endowment Fund to receive a bequest in a will or living trust.
It is the commitment, rather than the amount, that is the overriding factor in qualifying for membership in the Heritage Club.
The nation’s tax laws provide incentives that encourage philanthropy, in recognition of the singular role charitable organizations (including the YMCA) play in meeting important needs in our society. We encourage you to consider the Defiance Area YMCA in your financial planning. For more information about the YMCA’s Heritage Club, please contact:
