Planned Giving

If you would like to extend your support to the YMCA of Metropolitan Detroit to make a lasting impact, there are several gift arrangements to choose from. Whether you would like to put your donation to work today or benefit us after your lifetime, you can find a charitable plan that lets you provide for your family and support the YMCA branch or program of your choice.

Interested in helping the YMCA of Metropolitan Detroit with our mission but feel overwhelmed by the thought of writing another check or giving up your assets today? A simple, flexible and versatile way to ensure we can continue our work for years to come is a gift in your will or living trust, known as a charitable bequest.

By including a bequest to the YMCA in your will or living trust, you are ensuring that we can continue our mission for years to come. Your gift also entitles your estate to an unlimited federal estate tax charitable deduction.
