An Endowment Campaign took place in 2001 to establish a fund to help subsidize the operations of the Mercer County Family YMCA. Maintenance and growth of this fund is essential to the continued success of our Y. Any gifts designated to this fund will help ensure the current and future needs of the Y are met as we continue to serve Mercer County residents. There are many different ways you can give to the endowment fund. One way is through Planned Giving. Planned Giving Gifts by Estate Plans using a Will or Living Trust Everyone needs a will or living trust. Many individuals find that a charitable bequest to the Y can fit into their estate plans. Besides providing meaningful support to Y programs, these may also provide for reduced estate taxes. Speak to the CEO or a YMCA Board member for more information on giving to the Y.
