Endowment/ Planned Giving

Your support is appreciated

The Darien YMCA’s endowment ensures we can continue providing essential services, even during tough financial times. Your support keeps our doors open when the community needs us most.

The Legacy Society 

The Legacy Society honors those who show long-term commitment by making significant gifts to the Endowment Fund (starting at $5,000) or by including the Y in their estate plans. This could be through a will, trust, charitable gift annuity, real estate gift, or life insurance policy.

Your endowment gift today helps ensure future generations benefit from the Y, just as you and your family have.

Ways to Join the Legacy Society

  • Contribute to the Endowment Fund (minimum $5,000)
  • Make a bequest to the Y in your will
  • Name the Y as a beneficiary of a life insurance policy

Legacy Society Benefits

  • Invitations to Legacy Society events
  • Recognition on our website and at the Y
  • Annual updates on the impact of your support

For more information, please contact Karen Ford at kford@darien-ymca.org or call 203.655.8228, ext. 1358. 

Let us know that the Y is part of your personal planned giving?
