If you would like to leave a legacy for current and future families of Martha's Vineyard the Y invites you to consider making a planned gift and joining a group of individuals who care deeply for our Island. The ISLAND LEGACY SOCIETY was created to recognize our Y family supporters who make gift plans to benefit our Island community throughout and beyond their lifetimes. Legacy gifts made to the Y help ensure that affordable and free health and wellness, youth, and community programs will be available for future generations.
One hundred percent of your contribution will benefit local programs. Gifts are kept in perpetuity and invested to generate income used to sustain the Y. Please consider making the ISLAND LEGACY SOCIETY part of your estate plan today.
