Planned Giving
Planting the seeds for future generations.
What Is Planned Giving?
It’s simple. A planned or legacy gift ensures you’ll continue supporting the causes close to you in the future. If you plan for your legacy during your lifetime, you can see first-hand the difference your support will make for many children, youth, and families across Grey and Bruce Counties.
Why Give?
Together we can create a healthier future for our children and grandchildren. We can make safe places to learn, play, and grow. We can create a place where everyone can participate and is given the opportunity to reach their full potential. At the YMCA of Owen Sound Grey Bruce, we see barriers removed, doors opened, and communities succeeding together.
By planning your legacy now, you can help us create the foundation for a healthy, vibrant future – for children, youth, families, and communities across the region. Please help us give more individuals today, hope for tomorrow.
We hope you will consider making us a part of your legacy.
YMCA of Owen Sound Grey Bruce is partnered with the Will Power. Will Power is a public awareness campaign inspiring Canadians to think differently about the way they donate to charity, and use their Wills to make a powerful contribution. See how you can support your YMCA and your loved ones in your Will by checking out Will Power’s Legacy Calculator.
