Make a Donation!
The YWCA is dedicated to promoting gender equality and combating racism. With the help of supporters like you, we can continue our work to empower our community. There are several ways you can contribute to the YWCA, including secure online donations, sponsorship opportunities, donating stocks, bonds, or mutual funds, giving a gift of your vehicle, planned giving, or simply mailing a check. When making an online donation, you have the flexibility to choose the frequency of your donation, consider a recurring donation to provide ongoing support! We genuinely appreciate any support you can provide, regardless of the amount. Your generosity plays a crucial role in advancing our mission. Thank you!

Bequests
Bequests represent the most significant source of planned giving dollars for charitable organizations. If you would like to make a significant gift to YWCA Olympia but are concerned you may need the assets during your lifetime, a charitable bequest allows you to make a large contribution while maintaining maximum flexibility. These gifts can be funded with cash, marketable securities, mutual funds, real estate, life insurance and retirement plans. Charitable bequests and other estate gifts are 100% tax deductible so your estate pays no estate or inheritance tax.
Charitable Remainder Trusts
This type of trust is a tax-exempt way to distribute income from the trust to beneficiaries for a period of time, after which, remaining assets are distributed to the charity of your choice. You determine the time-frame and the amount of annual payouts within certain limitations.
Life insurance
Life insurance can help replace your estate and gift tax liabilities and often provides a substantial benefit for relatively small costs. You can name YWCA Olympia as the partial or sole beneficiary of the policy. Donating these policies results in a current income tax deduction and converts an asset that is no longer needed into a significant gift.
