The Heritage Society recognizes and honors those who have included the Rye YMCA in their estate plans with a future gift through a bequest, life insurance, or trust arrangement; or have made an outright gift to the Rye Y’s endowment fund.
Heritage Society members realize how important the YMCA has been to them throughout their lives and to the community. They believe in the purpose and values of the YMCA and have taken the steps necessary to ensure the Y will be here for future generations.
Gifts through The Heritage Society are used to build the Y’s endowment fund. These funds are invested for long term income and growth, and a portion of the investment income and growth is used to fund YMCA programs each year.
The Rye Y’s endowment fund is named after Harry P. Broom for his exceptional vision and generosity in securing the future of the Y for generations to come.
A robust endowment will ensure the Y’s financial future, allowing us to keep our programs open to all regardless of an individual’s ability to pay, and to uphold our strong tradition of meeting community need.
