Secure the future of the YMCA of the Triangle

Join the Heritage Club

"There is no greater need in our community or in our society, for that matter, than for the influence of positive role models for our youth. I know of no other organization that provides this guidance as effectively as the YMCA. With the Heritage Club, we have the opportunity to ensure the YMCA's mission for this and future generations."
- C. Hamilton Sloan, Former President of the YMCA of the Triangle

Becoming a member of the Heritage Club requires a commitment, which now, or in the future, will add to the YMCA's Endowment Fund.

There are a variety of gift programs available to qualify for Heritage Club membership:

• Outright gifts - Contributing cash, land, or securities to the YMCA Endowment Fund.
• Insurance - Naming the YMCA as owner, primary or contingent beneficiary of a new or existing insurance policy.
• Will bequest - Designating the YMCA for a percentage of a donor's estate or for a specified amount.
• Charitable trust - Making gifts with life income retained by the donor: Charitable Remainder Unitrust, Annuity Trusts, Pooled Income Fund. Other Trust: Charitable Lead Trust, Life Estate and Revocable Living Trust.

"The act of philanthropy is a spiritual act, our expression of caring for one's fellow human beings. It is a belief in the future and that the future can be good. It is investing in that future. It is helping to make the dream come true."
