What Is Planned Giving?
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?
What Are My Options?
Gift for the Present
Cash
A gift of cash is a simple way to give.
Securities
Transfer your stocks to receive a tax receipt for the market value at time of transfer.
Gift for the Future
Bequest
A charitable bequest can be as simple as adding a sentence or two in your Will, or a codicil appended to your present Will.
RRSPs/RRIFs
You can designate all or some of the funds in your Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP) or Registered Retirement Income Fund (RRIF) to support the YMCA.
Life Insurance
Enables you to provide a significant future gift at a very modest current cost.
Gifts that Give Back
Some planned gifts “pay you back” by paying you income or allowing you to enjoy the use of your property even after you have given it to the YMCA.
- Gift Annuities
- Charitable Remainder Trust
