Planned Giving
YWCA Southeastern MA is proud to announce our new partnership with FreeWill. Their free estate planning tool guides you through making your will in as little as 20 minutes and can even be used alongside an attorney for more complex needs.
While making your will, you can make an optional planned gift to YWCA Southeastern MA at no cost today. No matter its size, we would be grateful for your legacy to join us in the mission to eliminate racism, empower women, and promote peace, justice, freedom, and dignity for all.
You can also explore other financial planning and smart giving tools that can help you achieve your financial goals while supporting the causes and organizations you care about.
Creating a will can provide:
● Security: Creating your will and estate plan allows you to communicate important financial and healthcare decisions, so you’re prepared for whatever the future may hold.
● Peace of mind: A will allows you to provide for the people and pets you love, so you know that no matter what, they will be supported.
● Impact: By including a legacy gift in your will, you can sustain our programming and advocacy work for generations to come.

Designate Beneficiaries
Assets you pass on outside of your will are called non-probate assets. They include lRAs, 401(k)s, pensions, life insurance policies, and certain bank and brokerage accounts. Thanks to FreeWill, you can easily plan beneficiaries for your non-probate assets in one place. Learn more.

Whether you want to make a QCD gift to YWCA Southeastern Massachusetts today, request a tax acknowledgment letter for a gift already made, or just learn more about QCDs, you can find resources here.
Stocks & Securities
When you gift stocks and other securities directly to a charity, you make an outsized impact without taking money directly out of your bank account. Plus, neither you nor the charity will be taxed on the gains for appreciated assets you donate. Meet your giving goals, enjoy potential tax benefits, and contribute to the change you want to see. That’s a triple-win. Learn more here.
Crypto
When you donate cryptocurrency, you make an outsized impact without ever selling the crypto yourself. That means neither you nor YWCA Southeastern Massachusetts will be taxed on the gains for appreciated assets you donate. Learn more here.
