A gift in your Will
The most common planned gift is a gift in your Will. This can be a specific amount or a percentage of or the residual of your estate. There are no costs to you today, and your estate will gain a tax credit for the full current market value of your planned gift.
Don’t have a Will?
The YMCA has partnered with Willfora to give you the opportunity to make a free, legal Will! Leaving a gift to the YMCA is always appreciated but not required to use this service.
