Ways To give
Whether you give to the Annual Fund, to a Capital Campaign or to an Endowment Fund, your gift will help enrich lives.
YMCA Storer Camps has been serving youth and families since 1908. We are the stewards of 1,200 acres of pristine forest and lake. Each year we bring thousands of children into this spectacular setting to understand and appreciate nature, to challenge them physically and developmentally, and to instill in them values that will help them develop into successful and caring young adults.
At YMCA Storer Camps we believe that every child needs and deserves access to a natural environment and outdoor recreation to help them maintain a healthy body, a healthy mind and healthful habits. Through the generous support of individuals and foundations, we are able to offer scholarships to children who would otherwise be missing out on a potentially life-changing opportunity.
Donate today through our Annual Fund to help change lives.

Charitable trusts can provide life income to you and/or a loved one. After your lifetime(s), the trust principal passes to a Storer Endowment. You may name other charities as principal recipients as well.
Pooled Income Fund
A contribution to a Storer Pooled Income Fund can accomplish the same preservation of life income to you and/ or a loved one, without the expense of maintaining a separate trust, by pooling assets with other donors.
Charitable Gift Annuity
In return for tax deductible contributions, Storer pays a fixed life income to you and/or loved one. After your lifetime(s), the remaining balance passes to a Storer Endowment Fund.
Life Insurance
When the added protection of an insurance policy is no longer needed, transferring the policy’s ownership to Storer can result in tax benefits for you and a generous gift to Storer.
Charitable Lead Trusts
If you desire to retain ownership of the trust principal to meet future financial goals for your family, but have ample income now, a charitable lead trust directs income from the trust to a Storer Endowment Fund for the specified terms of the trust. After that period of time, the principal returns to you or your designee.
Beneficiary Designations
You may add Storer as a revocable beneficiary of your qualified IRA, pension plan, bank account or insurance policy.
