PRESIDENT'S CLUB
The President’s Club, established in 1972, honors those men and women who have shown a long-term commitment to the Y. It is the commitment that qualifies individuals as President’s Club members.
Please join the President’s Club to ensure that the Y is here tomorrow as a source of hope, vitality and strength for children and families in our community.
By making either a direct contribution to the Y’s endowment fund or by including the Y in your estate planning, you become part of the President’s Club and a strong tradition of paying it forward. You’ll be joining the circle of caring people who have given us the Y of today which brings together people throughout our community, more than half of them under the age of 25, in support of youth development, healthy living and social responsibility.
HOW TO MAKE YOUR PLANNED GIFT
BEQUESTS: Gifts to the Y through wills or living trusts may include specific property, a dollar amount or a percentage of your estate or trust property.
- Sample Bequest Language
I give to YMCA of Metropolitan Los Angeles, the sum of $____________________ /or _______ percent of the remainder of my estate (or trust) to be used for its general uses and purposes (or for the benefit of a specific branch, a program or purpose).
LIFE INSURANCE/ RETIREMENT PLANS: Making a gift of a life insurance policy, or designating the Y as a beneficiary of a life insurance policy or retirement plan, may allow a sizeable gift to the Y with a minimal cost and the potential for tax saving.
GIFT ANNUITY: A charitable gift annuity allows for a significant gift to the Y while providing fixed payments to the donor and/or loved ones.
DREAMS, AMBITIONS, CHALLENGES
The Y enhances our ability to achieve our dreams and face new challenges with courage and confidence throughout our lives. The power of this exceptional Y lies in people like you, each making a unique contribution to build a community that is stronger than the sum — here to ensure the next generation thrives.
