RIVER VALLEY REGIONAL YMCA

Planned Gifts to the YMCA are about planning for the future.

As a friend of the Y, we know that you share our hopes that the River Valley Regional YMCA will continue to be a strong, positive force in our community for generations to come. A gift to the Y’s Endowment Fund ensures your personal legacy to support the Y’s mission. A gift to the Endowment Fund is the greats confirmation of the YMCA mission that a friend of the Y can show and makes you a member of the River Valley Regional YMCA’s Heritage Club.

WHAT IS ENDOWMENT GIVING?

Endowment giving is a method of donating to the RVR YMCA investment fund. This fund is invested to earn annual income and as the principle grows, so does the income. A portion of the growth income is then used to support the work of the YMCA, while the principle always remains intact and invested – in order to perpetuate the fund.

WHY DO THE BRANCHES OF THE RIVER VALLEY REGIONAL YMCA EACH NEED AN ENDOWMENT FUND?

Endowment funds are a reliable and ongoing source of support for the YMCA – helps build a stable foundation to build the Y’s future on.
