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. Most donors hae their gifts automatically deducted from their credit card. If you prefer, you can also mail a check to the center monthly.
Circle of Success members provide dependable support for GYAC’s educational programs through their monthly giving. This helps GYAC keep fundraising expenses low so more dollars can be utili8zed to provide educational after school and summer school programs for students.
At anytime, you can increase, decrease, or cancel your monthly gift by calling us at 772.794.1005, extension 241.
Credit cards are processed on the first of each month.
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.
If you have remembered GYAC in your estate plans, please let us know. We would like the opportunity to thank you for your future gift, today. You may notify us by phoning Peggy Gibbs at 772.794.1005, extension 241.
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.
