Investing so that everyone can shine
A gift to our YMCA Endowment Fund enables us to better plan and deliver community programs, since we can rely on its stable income.
In a nutshell, your donation is invested in the Endowment Fund established by the YMCAs of Québec Foundation in 1984. The principal portion of the fund remains invested and protected in perpetuity, with only the interest used to fund the Y’s mission, year after year.
Choose how to support our Endowment
Your gift to the Y’s Endowment Fund can take several forms:
Undesignated gift
The annual income from your gift supports the Y’s general mission. YMCA leadership determines the use of the income based on priority needs.
Funds that support our general mission allow us to respond in a flexible and agile way to the most urgent needs of the communities we serve.
Designated Gift
The interest from your gift can support a specific area of interest to you, such as support for school success, financial aid for those most vulnerable or physical activity for kids.

The YMCA’s Heritage Club
Donors who contribute to the Endowment Fund are invited to join the Heritage Club. As a member, you’re kept informed about the Y’s activities and the status of the Fund. In addition, you’ll receive invitations to events such as the Heritage Club Dinner and the YMCAs of Québec Annual General Meeting.
