YMCA Legacy Club

The Ottawa YMCA Endowment & Planned Giving

Home>YMCA Legacy Club
Since 1956, our YMCA has been a place where people of all ages come together to grow stronger in spirit, mind, and body. With your support, we’ve been able to meet the changing needs of our community and continue to be a place where families thrive, children are nurtured, and friendships are built. 
 
Now, we invite you to consider including the YMCA in your long-term plans.
 
It’s not about giving today – it’s about shaping tomorrow!

Introducing the YMCA Legacy Club

The YMCA Legacy Club recognizes individuals and families who make a planned or endowment gift to the Ottawa YMCA through……

• a bequest,
• a trust,
• beneficiary designation,
• or an outright contribution.

Your legacy gift helps ensure that future generations will benefit from the life-changing programs and mission of the Y.

Legacy Club members believe in:

• Strengthening community for the long haul
• Creating opportunities for youth and families
• Sustaining vital programs through all seasons of need

Why Give to the Endowment?

The YMCA Endowment Fund is a permanent, self-sustaining source of support. Gifts are carefully invested, and a portion of the earnings is used annually to support our programs and operations—while the principal remains intact to generate support forever.

• You can direct your gift to:
• The Ottawa YMCA
• A program or initiative close to your heart
• A named fund in honor or memory of a loved one

Your generosity today can serve the next generation tomorrow—and the next, and the next
