Leave a Legacy

One of our greatest aspirations in life is to leave a mark—to make a difference in the lives of others and in our community. Through your care and commitment, you can ensure YMCA programs continue to address our community's most urgent needs.

An enduring legacy gift allows you to be a community builder and your contribution will be respected and recognized for years to come. A planned gift to YMCA Calgary helps us promote spiritual, mental, physical and social development of individuals through the core YMCA values of Caring, Honesty, Respect and Responsibility. All YMCA programs and services are designed to promote these values. Participants are encouraged to put the values into practice in their day-to-day lives and in their communities.

Planned giving is one way to support YMCA values-based programs. By promising a gift through the YMCA Calgary Endowment Fund, wealth management or estate planning, you can make a difference in the lives of others. You can help by making any one of the following gifts:

  • A bequest in your will.
  • A life insurance policy benefit.
  • An annuity, trust or other individual-interest gift.
  • A dedicated memorial fund.
  • An outright gift of cash or other assets.
  • Another kind of gift, such as property, investments or bonds.
