Membership Details

The Heritage Society is composed of individuals who have made an outright gift or notified the Y that they have provided for a future planned gift, whether large or small, to the Y's endowment fund through either a bequest, charitable trust, appreciated assets, or an outright gift of cash.

This important program is a way for the Y to thank and recognize donors during their lifetime for demonstrating their commitment to preserving the mission. By notifying the Y when you make a planned gift, you will be able to receive the benefits of membership and encourage other friends of the Y to consider making their own future gifts to the endowment. As always, we will respect the wishes of donors who desire to be anonymous. Benefits include:

Your name listed in the Y's Heritage Society Membership Roster (unless you prefer to be anonymous).

 Heritage Society events.

Information about YMCA programs that interest you and have the opportunity to meet staff and participants from these programs.

Consultation with gift planning staff in order to ensure the best match between your charitable intentions and the Y's needs.

Our Endowment Funds

Did you know that there are several different funds that benefit the Findlay Family YMCA and are available for additional contributions? The Y has two designated funds with the Findlay Hancock County Community Foundation: the Grant and Emily Young Fund, which provides youth scholarships at the Findlay YMCA; and the Tell Thompson Fund, which supports the Y's general operations.

The Y also has three designated funds that have been established within the Y's Endowment Fund, including the Buis Fund that supports youth and teen leadership programs, the Needler Fund that supports youth sports and wellness programs, and the Worstell Fund supports YMCA staff and volunteers.
