An Endowment Gift is Forever….

The Cornerstone Society was founded by a group of people with a strong belief in the YMCA and a commitment to the children and families in our community. Cornerstone Society Gifts are invested in the YMCA of Dane County’s Endowment Fund. A gift to the Endowment Fund provides the cornerstone to the YMCA of Dane County’s future by ensuring our programs and services will continue to build strong kids, strong families and strong communities for years to come.

You can become a member of the Cornerstone Society two ways:
1)  Include the YMCA of Dane County in estate plans or planned giving method and confirm so with our organization or;
2)  Pledge a minimum Gift of $1,000 to the Endowment Campaign to be paid within 5 years.  This gift may be made with cash, check stock, bank draft or credit card.

The Legacy Circle is a special recognition group within the Cornerstone Society.  You gain exclusive membership by:

1) Making and endowment gift of 10,000 or more or;
2) You Name the YMCA in your will or other planned giving method (no minimum level). 

At the $10,000 level, you can create a named fund to which you and your loved ones may begin a tradition of support.
