The Countryside YMCA has a proud history of generous donors creating endowments to help fund its mission. An endowment is a gift that keeps on giving – the gift is retained and invested, and the earnings support the donor’s interests in perpetuity. The impact of Countryside Y’s endowment program creates a legacy that supports your Y’s mission, provides a stable source of revenue for Y initiatives, and makes the Y accessible to more people by providing financial assistance opportunities to those in our community.

Through a planned donation to the Heritage Club Endowment Program, you will have the distinct ability to benefit the future of the Y.  Donations can be made through your will, as an outright gift, or via a property. Depending on the specifics of your donation, you may also benefit right now by experiencing:

  • Savings on income tax through charitable deduction for the value of the gift
  • Avoidance of capital gains tax on contributions of certain kinds of property that have increased in value over time
  • Income for life, for a donor and/or other beneficiaries
  • The possibility of increased spendable income
  • Elimination of federal estate tax on the value of a gift passing to the YMCA upon the donor’s death
  • Reduced estate settlement costs
