Monthly Giving
GYAC’s Circle of Success is a community of GYAC friends and advocates who give monthly, recurring gifts. Giving over time is easy on your budget and builds sustainability for the programs offered at GYAC.
Charitable Bequests
Making a bequest to GYAC is an easy and usually inexpensive way to transfer assets — cash, securities, real estate, life insurance and retirement plans — to support GYAC.
Gifts of Stocks
If you own non-cash property such as stocks and mutual funds that have grown in value and have been held for more than one year, you can enjoy greater tax savings by donating the security to GYAC. By giving a gift of appreciated securities, you may avoid paying capital gains on the stock or security, receive a charitable gift deduction on your tax return, and GYAC receives the full value of your security.
GYAC Legacy Society
We invite you to join Gifford Youth Achievement Center’s Legacy Society. Members of this special group include individuals who have notified us that they have made arrangements to leave a future gift to GYAC as well as those whose gifts have been realized.
Planned Giving
You don’t have to be wealthy to make a significant gift… you can make a gift that costs nothing during your lifetime.
