Making a planned gift is a wonderful way to show your support and appreciation for the YMCA of MEWSA and its mission while accommodating your own personal, financial, estate-planning, and philanthropic goals. With smart planning, donors may actually increase the size of their commitment to the Y and/or reduce the tax burden on heirs. Just as important, a planned gift is a meaningful contribution to the Y and the future community.
Thanks to the vision of prior generations, the YMCA is able to continue to make an impact today. Help preserve the YMCA of Metuchen, Edison, Woodbridge and South Amboy for future generations and support our programs and services that promote healthy lifestyles.
Gifts may be unrestricted, designated to support a specific branch or program area of the Y, or earmarked for endowment purposes. It is helpful to discuss giving plans with Y staff so that language can be drafted for use in any legal documents that will assure that the Y will be able to utilize a gift as you intend. Donors and their advisors are welcome to reach out to the YMCA Development Director, Elizabeth Bennett for assistance at 732-516-2087 or email

Make a Bequest:
You may be looking for a way to make a significant gift to help the future of our mission. A bequest is a gift made through your will or trust. It is one of the most popular and flexible ways that you can support the YMCA and our cause.
Put your IRA to Work:
Did you know: If you are 70 and 1/2 or older, you are eligible to create a tax-free gift from your IRA to support the YMCA.
Securities and Stock:
Did you know: Making a gift of appreciated securities can be a great tax-efficient way to support the Y. Donating stock to the YMCA can help you reduce or eliminate capital gains tax.
Donors are encouraged to discuss their planned giving or estate giving options with their legal and/or financial advisors. Y staff are always willing to assist.
