If you would like to make a difference at YWCA Northeast Indiana through a financial contribution, there are many ways to do so.
Our newly established giving tiers reflect what we offer women and families seeking domestic violence or addiction recovery services:
- Welcomed and Warm, $25 – $99
- Rest and Renewal, $100 – $249
- Hope and Healing, $250 – $499
- Kindness and Kinship, $500 – $999
- Fearless and Free, $1,000+
- Persimmon and Proud – ongoing gifts
The pantone color of YWCA’s brand is called “Persimmon,” so for those who create recurring monthly, quarterly, or yearly gifts, we promote to the Persimmon and Proud tier of giving because our regular supporters are the backbone of our mission. But, whether you’re Welcomed and Warm, Fearless and Free, Persimmon and Proud, or somewhere in between, know that we are so thankful for your support. Every dollar makes an impact.

A charitable remainder trust (CRT) is an irrevocable trust that disperses income to the non-charitable beneficiaries then allocates the remainder of the donated assets to YWCA Northeast Indiana at the time of your death or at the end of a specific time period determined by you, whichever comes first. Annual payments range from a minimum of 5 percent to a maximum of 50 percent of the total assets in the trust. The income stream can last for a specific period of time (no more than 20 years) or for the life of the recipient.

This type of trust disperses income to YWCA Northeast Indiana, while the non-charitable beneficiaries receive the remainder of the donated assets upon your death or at the end of a specific term, similar to a CRT. CLTs generally benefit more from gift and estate tax benefits compared to CRTs.
