The YMCA of the North Shore has existed since 1858. Over that time, many people have walked through our YMCAs and had experiences that changed their lives forever.
Whether we taught them to swim, provided them with a camp experience,or just gave them a place to belong, the 
impact of the YMCA is truly enduring. If you believe in the mission of the YMCA and want to ensure that future generations continue to benefit, we invite you to consider a planned gift.
How to Make a Planned Gift
You can make a planned gift to the Y through a variety of giving vehicles. Everyone is different—we encourage you to choose a gift most suitable and meaningful to you.
