Your Gift Matters
Make a Big Impact with a Future Gift
The Kentucky YMCA has been serving teenagers since 1890. By including the Y in your estate and financial plans, you can help support future generations. Planned giving offers opportunities for tax-saving benefits and ways to protect your family's future, all while accomplishing your philanthropic goals.
Ways to Give
Give to Support Leadership for a Lifetime
A Gift in Your Will or Trust
With as little as one sentence, you can make a gift in your will or trust that significantly impacts the efforts of the Kentucky YMCA Youth Association. Whether you choose to give a set amount or a percentage of your estate, your support ensures we are able to continue our mission for years to come.
Retirement Plan Assets
Retirement plan assets are a great way to support the work at the KY YMCA because they not only help expand youth leadership, but they also can provide tax relief for your loved ones. Consider leaving your loved ones less heavily taxed assets and leaving your retirement plan assets to the Kentucky YMCA Youth Association
Beneficiary Designations
Naming the Kentucky YMCA Youth Association as a beneficiary of one of your assets, such as your retirement plan or life insurance policy, is a convenient way to support our mission. All it takes are a few minutes and a simple form.
IRA Charitable Rollover
If you are 70½ years old or older, you can take advantage of a simple way to give tothe Kentucky YMCA Youth Association and receive tax benefits in return. You can give up to $100,000 from your IRA directly to a qualified charity without having to pay income taxes on the money.
Gifts of Stock
Throughout the history of the Kentucky YMCA, generous individuals, corporations and foundations have made leadership gifts that have helped shape the future of the Y in our community.
By donating appreciated stocks, bonds and mutual fund shares that have been owned for more than one year, donors can avoid capital gains tax. They also receive an income tax deduction for the fair market value of the gift. A security’s gift value is determined by its fair market value on the day you make the gift.
