Heritage Club

Preserving the Heritage of the YMCA for Future Generations

Heritage Club

Imagine a community in which all citizens, in perpetuity, are instilled with the values of caring, honesty, respect and responsibility. These four core values guide the YMCA in all programming, whether for infants or teens, families or seniors.

For over 130 years, the Valley of the Sun Y has been serving the community and helping families raise their kids to be productive, caring members of society.

The Heritage Club is a recognition program for individuals who support the sustainability of the YMCA by making a gift to the endowment fund and/or including the YMCA in their long-range financial or estate plans.

When you make a gift to the endowment fund, the principal is invested and remains untouched forever; only a portion of the earnings are disbursed each year to fund specific YMCA programs or for general purposes. Cash gifts of $10,000 or more directed to the endowment entitle you to membership in the Heritage Club.

By becoming a Heritage Club donor, you can help ensure that the YMCA will be around to spread these values and support the community for generations to come.

RECOGNITION

As a Heritage Club donor, you will have the satisfaction of knowing you are helping to perpetuate the YMCA’s mission. Additionally, we will recognize your generous commitment in the following ways:

  • Invitation to an annual Heritage Club recognition event
  • Inclusion in donor lists
  • Y memento
  • Special publications

Many options are available for including the YMCA in your long-range financial or estate plans while also enjoying significant income and/or tax advantages. Consult with your personal legal or financial advisor and choose the gift plan that best matches your goals.
