Join the Legacy Club

The Family YMCA of Lancaster and Fairfield County is proud to offer the Legacy Club, an exclusive group of donors who have committed to leaving a lasting legacy by including the Y in their estate plans. By becoming a Legacy Club member, you can help ensure that the Y continues to provide life-changing programs and services to individuals and families in our community for generations to come.

Your planned gift can support the Y’s endowment, which provides a stable source of funding for the Y’s programs and services. Your gift can also be designated to a specific program or facility that is meaningful to you. Legacy Club members receive special recognition, invitations to exclusive events, and the satisfaction of knowing that their generosity will have a lasting impact on the community.

How to Join

Make a Plan

Joining the Legacy Club is easy and can be done through a variety of planned giving options, including bequests, charitable trusts, and gifts of life insurance. Contact us to learn more about how you can leave a lasting legacy with the Y.

Bequests 

One of the simplest ways to leave a legacy with the Y is through a bequest in your will or living trust. You can designate a specific dollar amount, a percentage of your estate, or a specific asset to the Y.

Benefits of Giving

Planned gifts to the Y may offer significant tax benefits, including reducing estate and inheritance taxes and providing income tax deductions. Additionally, planned gifts can provide a way for you to make a larger gift to the Y than you might have thought possible.
