Planned Gifts

Leave a Legacy. Shape the Future.

Planned giving is one of the most powerful ways to support the future of YWCA Central Maine. Through our partnership with FreeWill, YWCA Central Maine offers tools to help you create a will and explore smart ways to give. These resources make it easy to support the causes you care about—now and for generations to come—at no cost to you. By including the YWCA in your estate plans, you can create lasting impact for generations of women, children, and families—ensuring that our mission continues long into the future. These gifts cost nothing today, yet help sustain critical programs that empower women and eliminate racism in our community.

Planned gifts allow you to:

  • Leave a legacy aligned with your values

  • Support future generations in our community

  • Potentially reduce taxes for your loved ones

  • Make a larger impact than may be possible today

Whether large or small, every legacy gift helps ensure the YWCA remains a strong and vital resource in Central Maine.
