Planned Gifts

YMCA of Western Ontario Planned Gifts
The YMCA of Western Ontario Foundation maintains an endowment fund to support and enhance YMCA programs and facilities. Income from this fund is used, while the capital remains a lasting assurance that the YMCA ‘s services and philosophies will continue to touch future generations.

A planned gift to the YMCA Foundation allows you to make arrangements today to provide for a charitable donation in the future. A planned gift is an effective way to fulfill your financial and charitable wishes.

Bequests are donations from a donor’s estate as set out in a Will, and may be designated for a specific project or program.

Outright Gifts provide income tax savings and can include any asset: cash, works of art, stocks, real estate or other investments.

Life Insurance policies naming the YMCA as beneficiary offer a variety of tax advantages to a donor while providing a significant future gift to the Foundation.

Charitable Gift Annuities transfer cash assets to the YMCA in exchange for the YMCA paying the donor (or spouse) a fixed dollar amount each month.

Memorial Gifts allow a loved one to be remembered in perpetuity through the creation of a named memorial endowment fund. The fund may accept the contributions of many different donors.
