Would you like to help ensure the lasting sustainability of our Waushara County YMCA for generations to come? Consider a gift to our YMCA.
PLEDGES
To increase your contribution to the Waushara County YMCA, you may make a pledge now and spread payments of your gift over time.
APPRECIATED STOCKS, BONDS, or PROPERTY
An alternative to cash is a gift of appreciated property, such as securities. In most situations the full fair market value of gifts of appreciated assets is deductible. Additionally, taxes on gains are often avoided. Please consult with your financial and tax advisors for advice on maximizing and finalizing your campaign gift plans. An account transfers form is available.
PLANNED OR DEFERRED GIVING
Giving through your will can be a convenient and easy way to leave a lasting legacy to benefit the YMCA. After first providing for your loved ones, you may decide to give a specific amount or percentage of your remaining estate to the YMCA. Please speak with Ryan Zietlow, CEO, for details on how to set up your planned giving.
CHARITABLE TRUSTS/CHARITABLE GIFT ANNUITIES
Charitable trusts can provide life income to you and/or a loved one. After your lifetime(s), the trust principal passes to the YMCA Foundation. You may name other charities as principal recipients as well.
LIFE INSURANCE
When the added protection of an insurance policy is no longer needed, transferring the policy’s ownership to the YMCA can result in tax benefits for you and a generous gift to the YMCA.
For any additional information on leaving a lasting legacy, please send an email to rzietlow@spymca.org or call 715-952-9300. Gifts to the YMCA are tax deductible.
