An individual that commits a planned gift or makes a contribution to the YMCA endowment fund, is honored by the Y as a Cornerstone Endowment Society Member. Members of our YMCA Cornerstone Endowment Society are invited annually to a dinner event and will receive several special release YMCA publications.
Why become a member of the Cornerstone Endowment Society?
We know that our children and grandchildren will be faced with challenges of their own as they grow and prosper in life. The Y Cornerstone Endowment Society, founded in 1998, was established in order to help our YMCA keep pace with those challenges and ensure that innovative, high-quality, mission-driven YMCA programs and services will be there to lend support, guidance and friendship to our future generations.
Membership Requirements
While the average Cornerstone Endowment Society commitment is higher, an annual gift of $1,000 to $25,000 qualifies an individual for a membership. This gift can be made using cash, check, stocks, bonds, life insurance or estate planning. We encourage you to consider extending your YMCA involvement beyond the here and now, and become a member of the YMCA Cornerstone Endowment Society. As a Society member, you will help positively shape the lives of those who will one day shape our community, our country and our world.

- Bequest by Will
- Beneficiary of IRA or Retirement Plan
