Get Involved

Legacy of YWCA: YWCA High Point has served our community since 1920 by focusing on programming dedicated to eliminating racism, empowering women, and promoting peace, justice, freedom and dignity for all. By including YWCA in your personal legacy, know that your gift will allow us to continue to benefit the health and well-being of our community for the next 100 years.

PLANNED GIVING OPPORTUNITIES

YWCA is always appreciative of any gift of any size. We also recognize that while your philanthropy is of great benefit to us, it should also be financially beneficial to you. Through proper planning, you can make gifts to YWCA that will benefit you in a variety of ways, such as generating an income stream, providing income tax deductions, reducing capital gains taxes, and reducing or eliminating estate taxes.

Everyone’s financial situation and goals are different and you should consult with a tax advisor for advice specific to your own situation.
