Endowment Program

LONG-TERM PLANNING

The YMCA endowment program is to build long-range stability for the Montgomery County Family YMCA. This is not an appeal for any funds now, but a request that you would consider including the YMCA in your long-range estate plans. By doing this now, the possible tax advantages to you can increase the value of your estate, enabling you to do much more than you ever dreamed possible. Montgomery County Family YMCA friends and patrons may contribute to the YMCA endowment fund program by several methods: ​
  • Make an outright gift of money, land, stock, insurance, copyrights, oil rights, letter stock or individual fractional interest to the Endowment Fund of the Montgomery County Family YMCA
  • Make or revise a will directing a percentage, a fixed amount or through a contingency statement, an eventual gift to the Montgomery County Family YMCA Endowment Fund.
  • Name the Montgomery County Family YMCA Endowment Fund as a primary or secondary beneficiary of an insurance policy.
  • There is no “minimum requirement” as to the gift’s size or amount. The YMCA’s Endowment Fund gives everyone the opportunity that wishes to perpetuate the good work of the Montgomery County Family YMCA.
