Make your passion for health and wellness, youth engagement, or Indigenous programming have a lasting impact.
The YMCA Calgary Endowment promotes, supports, and funds YMCA Calgary initiatives to build healthier communities now and for future generations.
Donors can make a living gift or create a planned gift to the Endowment. Gifts are endowed which means they are invested in perpetuity. Annually, a portion of the investment income is used to fund YMCA Calgary programs each year. This source of sustainable income allows for long-term planning in order to meet the current and changing needs of the community.
Making a gift to the YMCA Calgary Endowment is about building sustainable futures to help generations of children and families thrive, promoting healthy living and creating belonging and connection. Your legacy makes sure that the YMCA is supported and gives you an opportunity to make a lasting difference in the lives of others—in your lifetime and beyond.
To learn more about the YMCA Calgary Endowment or making a legacy gift through an estate gift, life insurance policy, etc. please email Christy Rechuk, Major Gift & Planned Giving Officer, at christy.repchuk@ymcacalgary.org.
By making a charitable bequest in your will, you can leave a legacy that will help shape the future health and wellbeing of our communities.
A sentence in your will, or a codicil appended to your present will, that names YMCA Calgary as the beneficiary of a portion of your estate, or of particular assets in your estate, is all that is required.
When you leave YMCA Calgary in your will, you are joining a group of individuals who believe, as you do, that the YMCA is a trusted and valuable charity supporting the health and wellbeing of our community. Donors are recognized in our Heritage Club, which provides opportunities to stay connected with the YMCA through annual events and YMCA updates.
Making a gift in your will is easy, but it’s an important decision to discuss with your family and your lawyer/professional advisor. We would welcome the opportunity to discuss your legacy gift and answer any questions.
For more information, please contact Christy Rechuk, Major Gift & Planned Giving Officer, at christy.repchuk@ymcacalgary.org.
YMCA Calgary is a proud partner with Will Power, a national movement working to educate Canadians on the power they have to make a difference through their wills.
