Endowments

Endowment funds are permanent funds whose principal is never used, but the interest income it generates supports the Y's urgently needed programs that encourage everyone to learn, grow, and thrive. It is the permanency of the Fund that makes it so vital. Donations can be made to established and new endowments at any time or as a part of your planned giving.

If you have questions or would like to give to one of the Y's endowments, please contact Jill Haboush, Chief Development Officer, at 269-683-1552 or jhaboush@ymcagm.org.
