Endowment/Planned Giving

While annual gifts ensure resources are available to support our community today, endowment gifts support our community for generations to come. Endowment giving is a way to permanently support opportunities for the Darien YMCA community. Interest earned from the endowment is used to support vital programs while the principal is held for perpetuity. For more information click here.
