Planned Giving
Gifts by Will or Living Trust
Everyone needs a will or living trust. It provides a blueprint for disposing of your property after your death. Many individuals find that a charitable bequest to the YMCA can fit into their estate plans, providing meaningful support to YMCA programs and lowering the value of the estate and possibly saving estate taxes.
Charitable Gift Annuity
The YMCA Charitable Gift Annuity program offers donors the opportunity to make a donation today and receive life income and tax benefits. A Charitable Gift Annuity is a simple contract between you and the YMCA in which you agree to give an asset (often highly appreciated stock) and the YMCA promises a life income from that asset with highly favorable rates, based upon your age at the time of the gift.
Charitable Remainder Trusts
A Charitable Remainder Trust gift places assets into a trust for gifting to the YMCA at some future determined date. The donor receives, in return, tax savings and a life income based on the valuation of the trust at the time the gift is made or based on the income earned by the trust.
Gifts of Retirement Plans
Many individuals are finding themselves with substantial retirement plan assets and no easy way to distribute those assets to their heirs through their estate. The taxation of retirement benefits can be very costly to your family. Giving retirement assets to the YMCA could, ultimately, benefit your estate by allowing more of your other assets to pass to an heir at a lower taxed rate.
Gifts by Life Insurance
Most people have life insurance. Did you know that you can make a planned gift to the YMCA through your life insurance? A gift of a paid-up policy or a portion of a policy can be an easy way to include the YMCA Endowment in your estate plans. The gift of ownership of a policy can result in a significant tax deduction for the donor.
Capital Gifts
Gifts given for capital improvements enable the Two Rivers YMCA to continue to improve existing facilities and provide the community with additional programs and fitness opportunities to improve themselves in Spirit, Mind and Body.
Memorial Gifts Program
Gifts given in memory of a loved provide financial support to the Two Rivers YMCA. Gifts can be designated for Capital Improvements, Youth Character Development, and other Memorial Programs.
Memorial Tree Program
