Legacy Society – Planned Giving

We welcome you to our Legacy Society – a community of donors committed to YWCA NENY’s future.

With planned giving, you can provide long-lasting support to the women and families that we work with. Your generosity will impact the future of YWCA NorthEastern NY for the better, allowing us to remain sustainable and allowing you to create a lasting legacy.

About Bequests

Bequests represent the most significant source of planned giving dollars for charitable organizations.

If you would like to make a significant gift to YWCA NorthEastern NY but are concerned you may need the assets during your lifetime, a charitable bequest allows you to make a large contribution while maintaining maximum flexibility. These gifts can be funded with cash, marketable securities, mutual funds, real estate, life insurance, and retirement plans. Charitable bequests and other estate gifts are 100% tax deductible so your estate pays no estate or inheritance tax.’

A bequest is a simple way to provide for the future of YWCA. Through your will or revocable living trust, you can make a gift of a specific dollar amount, a particular asset, or a portion of what remains after other distributions have been made. Unless designated otherwise, planned gifts are applied to the endowment and help grow this important source of reliable and flexible funding. If you have already included YWCA in your estate plans, please let us know so that we may welcome you as a member of the Society of Vision.
