ENDOWMENT FUND
Donors to the YMCA endowment fund can ensure a brighter future for our community and our Y!
YMCA 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.
Please consider joining the Cornerstone Society by completing the letter of intent below.
WAYS TO JOIN THE CORNERSTONE ENDOWMENT SOCIETY

DONOR STORIES
"What drives us to contribute to the Y and we hope it will drive others is this quote that is often used during contribution campaigns. “Your dues pay the bills, but your donation will change a life.” We want to help the facilitation of changing lives."
