PLANNED GIVING OPPORTUNITIES

TODAY'S GIFT, TOMORROW'S REWARD

Planned giving allows donors to realize significant tax-saving benefits, while protecting their family’s future and accomplishing their philanthropic goals. Today, our Y benefits from the visionary volunteers and donors who came before us. It was their foresight and inspiring generosity that helped to shape what our YMCA is today. You can help to ensure that the Greater Joliet Area YMCA will be here to support future generations by including the Y in your overall estate and financial plans.
